I think I will not be in minority saying that the Tigra was a really interesting and well designed small 2+2 coupe. It was produced from 1994 to 2000 in Spain and then after an short absence from 2004 to 2009
in France (Opel Tigra Twin Top).

Unfortunately in 2009 Opel decided definitively to finish production. I still think that there is a place for that kind of small coupe on the market so I’ve decided to imagine how it could look like today or in the future. The whole concept is not new, because I’ve made some initial renderings some time ago for the WTB (World Team Battle 2010 – Photochop Championships) but know I prepared renderings in a more real and eye-candy scenario.

Renderings are done in photoshop and based on the Opel Meriva 2010 images, that’s why design details from that car are visible.

And here are my renderings:

Hopefully someday Opel will renew production of its small coupe, the new Corsa platform could be perfect for building such a nice car again.
