Opels engineers used a blend of components in the chassis. The floorpan is basically Kadett, as is the independant front suspension, using a transverse leaf spring. At the rear, they located the coil-sprung axle with trailing arms and a lateral Panhard rod. This layout was new to Opel, but since has been adopted on the firm`s Rekord and Commodore models. |

Cool photos, thanks for sharing them. I noticed a couple of interesting things.
The gas cap is much much more flush, and the exhaust goes UNDER the rear axle. |

Test Bed ...
The experimental GT was designed in the early 1960's as a mobile test bed for Opel suspensions at Opel's new high speed test track.
The Kadett (and probably the rest of the Opel range) did not receive the coil spring rear suspension till 1967 1/2 - after it had been tested and proofed on the experimental GT. |
