The new all-electric Manta GSe is the first electric RestoMod by Opel, combining the classic style of the iconic Manta with the latest electric powertrain for sustainable motoring. The four-cylinder engine under the black bonnet has been replaced by an electric motor with 108kW (147PS) and 225Nm of torque. The vehicle also comes with the original four-speed gearbox, allowing drivers to manually change gears, or alternatively, engage the fourth gear and drive automatically.
The Manta GSe is equipped with a 31kWh lithium-ion battery and has a range of around 124 miles. As with the current Vauxhall electric range, it features regenerative braking to improve range. Charging takes place through a 9kW on-board charger with a full charge taking just under four hours to complete.
Both Vauxhall and Opel have pledged to offer an electrified variant across their entire model line-up by 2024.
