One of the coolest, sportiest models to come out of Opel has been the Manta coupe. But it's been out of production for decades. That ends in this decade, as Stellantis during its EV Day presentation announced the Opel Manta E, an electric successor to the classic German two-door.
The company didn't give many details, but it did provide the above teaser image of a blurred Manta E concept rendering. While it's hard to see much, it suggests that the new model won't exactly be a retro design a la Camaro, Challenger or Mustang.
