Opel Sylvia
The Opel Sylvia one-off by Carrozzeria Coggiola.
Vehicle Overview
The Opel Sylvia GT, conceived by designer Trevor Fiore and crafted by Carrozzeria Coggiola in 1973, represents an intriguing chapter in Opel’s design history. Intended as a potential successor to the iconic Opel GT, the Sylvia GT was envisioned as a modern evolution of the classic model, infusing it with fresh styling and advanced features. Trevor Fiore’s design for the Opel Sylvia GT showcased a striking reinterpretation of the GT’s original silhouette. The prototype featured a sleek and sophisticated aesthetic, characterized by smooth lines and a contemporary flair that distinguished it from its predecessors. This design was not just about visual appeal but also aimed to enhance the vehicle’s performance and functionality. Carrozzeria Coggiola, known for its high-quality craftsmanship, translated Fiore’s vision into a tangible prototype. The result was a car that combined elegance with dynamic design, embodying the spirit of innovation. Despite its promising appearance and the technical advancements it represented, the Opel Sylvia GT did not progress beyond the prototype stage. The project, unfortunately, did not lead to a production model, and the Sylvia GT remains a fascinating “what if” in automotive circles. It represents both a missed opportunity and a testament to the creativity and ambition of its creators. Today, the Opel Sylvia GT stands as a captivating example of 1970s automotive design, reflecting the era’s push towards modernity while honoring the legacy of its predecessors. Its story serves as a reminder of the constant evolution within the automotive industry and the relentless pursuit of excellence and innovation that drives it. Despite its limited production status, the Sylvia GT’s design and concept continue to inspire and intrigue automotive enthusiasts and historians.
