OPEL ADAM
ROCKS S
Anything
but cute and definitely not slow - the brand new Opel Adam Rocks S will
celebrate its world premiere at the 2015 International Amsterdam Motorshow.
With its sturdy, masculine appearance, the Swing Top canvas roof and powerful 1.4-liter
turbo ECOTEC engine the 3.75 meters long Adam Rocks S will appeal to customers
who want to combine dynamic driving outside of the city with thirst for
adventure, open air feeling and stylish design.
The
powerful 110 kW/150 hp ECOTEC engine with Start/Stop makes do with a mere 5.9
liters of gasoline per 100 kilometers in the combined cycle, which is
equivalent to 139 g/km of CO2. It is fitted with a short ratio 6-speed gearbox.
Accelerations are those of a small sporty car - 100 km/h are reached in 8.5
seconds - but the Adam Rocks S mainly impresses with great elasticity: it makes
the transition for 80 to 120 km/h in fifth gear in just 7.9 seconds. Top speed
is 210 km/h.
Thus,
the Adam Rocks S is perfectly equipped for fast and sporty excursions. Furthermore,
a specially tuned sport chassis, lowered by 15 mm compared to the Adam Rocks,
and a direct sporty steering increase driving pleasure especially on winding
country roads. A high performance braking system and an ESP system that can be
deactivated offer ambitious drivers the possibility of safely pushing the rock
and roll athlete to its limits.
To
enable everybody to customize the looks of their own Adam Rocks S according to
their own taste, there is a total of eleven body paint choices that can be
combined with five roof colors including the new, vibrant, 'Red 'n' Roll' that
is exclusively available for the S models of the ADAM family. As an option, the
'Red ʼn' Roll' color theme can also
play a dominant role in the sporty interior and it gives the optional leather
package with seat and steering wheel heating a special touch.
"The
combination of it's rugged, adventurous looks, plus it's sharp sporty
performance gives the Adam Rocks S its very own unique personality," said
Mark Adams, Opel's Vice President of Design. "The typical protective
cladding and the strongly defined contours of the side sills give it a
purposeful appearance with the engine and the chassis delivering pure driving
pleasure," added Niels Loeb, chief designer of the Adam Rocks S.
