Test drive Opel Astra coupe 2000 - 2006 compartment

Red and black

Opel Astra Coupe on our roads is difficult to meet this is clearly not a subject of mass demand. And Opel Astra Coupe Linea Rossa is even more difficult. This is generally exclusive.


Structurally, cars do not differ about how Astra Coupe drives and what she has under the hood, we told in detail only six months ago (motor #12, 2002). The difference in the design, and therefore in visual perception. And, accordingly, in the price of Rossa, all other things being equal, about a thousand dollars are more expensive. Do you like the combination of red with black and the skin of a good dressing? If so, then consider that Linea Rossa has been created by Special for You.


This red line was drawn less than a year ago in the Italian town of Gralyasko near Turin, in the famous Bertone bodybuilding atelier, where the Astra Coupe model itself was born. Why drew? Maybe from love for stand. Or maybe, then, in order to express the bitterness of the upcoming farewell that the Astra compartment will soon be discouraged, and its sports role from the next model year will play a three-door hatchback, they say as a long time being decided.


However, be that as it may, Astra Coupe still lives and live. And plays in different colors. Not only does it also offer two shades of the red Magma Red and Chianti Red for painting the body, there are also black Carbon Black, and two shades of silver Star Silver and Light Silver. Vulcanic magma, Xyanti wine, coal, star silver and light silver. And all this, mind you, in the red line.
