The term identifies a specific configuration of a classic sports car, the Opel GT, modified with extended body panels. These modifications typically broaden the vehicle’s stance, enhancing both its visual appeal and potentially its handling characteristics. An example would be an Opel GT that has undergone aftermarket customization involving the installation of wider fenders or complete body kits that dramatically alter its original dimensions.
Such alterations are often undertaken to accommodate wider wheels and tires, leading to improved grip and stability, especially during cornering. The practice can also reflect aesthetic preferences, transforming the car’s appearance into a more aggressive or personalized style. Historically, modifications of this kind have been popular within motorsports and car customization communities, showcasing individuality and performance enhancements.
