Königseder Opel GT’aime

German sports car tuners usually need only a couple of pictures and figures to impress the public with their cars. But Königseder thought that their modified Opel GT deserved more than that. Not only does the Opel GT’aime carry a funny name (”Je t’aime” is French for “I love you”), but the odd press note (after the jump) made us wonder what Königseder PR’s husbands and wives would think about it.

From the outside, the GT’aime differs from standard GTs thanks to a modified front spoiler, a low rear wing and 20in Giovanna Dalar wheels fitted on wide Yokohama tires. The interior is heavily customized, with black and red dashboard panels and leather seats - the floor is made of wood and includes large GT’aime writings.

Its turbocharged 2.0L straight-four petrol engine gets a 35hp boost to reach a maximum output of 300hp. Fitted with KW coilovers and huge Brembo brakes, the GT’aime should leave the Honda S2000 and Porsche Boxster in the dust in the blink of an eye. The odd thing is, it appears this tuner is aiming at clients that don’t think about the performance aspect when they buy cars.

Press Release
Desire for an affair?
Königseder makes his own motor show - not in Essen - but with his work on Opel GT. Women finally know what they want:
300 sleek-tuned PS.
The affair Königseder and Opel takes place.
With aerodynamic accents - frontspoiler and rear wing - race wins over mass and causes exactly the tension which an affair consists of. They emphasize the soft silhouette on the one hand and power the dynamic character of the car on the other hand.
A KW coilover suspension version 3 guarantees sporty driving and lap records through individual damper adjustmest - also due to the Yokohama tires.
Las Vegas: 20″ Giovanna Dalar rims remind of Elvis’ best times with rivet belts and match the car like chalk and cheese. Two American giants meet at Konigseder. Why not earlier?
The custom made Brembo brake system provides excellent deceleration and the 332mm brake discs with red 4 pistons calipers underline the exciting e! rotic style of this convertible.
The climax of the affair - naturally - takes place in the interior:
Very special: Hand made wooden car floor in black and red with GT`aime writing.
