Opel Manta
The Opel Manta is a rear-wheel-drive sports coupé built by German manufacturer Opel in two generations from 1970 to 1988.
The Manta was a mildly sporting coupé based on the Ascona family car, akin to the Ford Falcon-based Mustang and its various imitators such as the Ford Capri.
The Manta remained rear-wheel drive for both generations and also saw certain competition success. Its name comes from the Manta ray.[1]
