Irmscher Inspiro

Irmscher is probably best known for being the tuner for Opel…

What I show here is actually a concept car that is already 11 years old. Irmscher just got it out to show it at the Retro Classics Car Exhibition in Stuttgart just recently. It is a fully driving example as can be seen on some youtube videos.

I really like it as it combines some of the best elements of some of my favourite roadsters. You can easily recognise a Caterham 7, A Wiesmann Roadster and a Morgan plus 8…

Not being a fan of Opel I never paid attention to Irmscher so far, so I really came across this concept car just now. Then again, with the Speedster Opel brought a beautiful roadster to the market in the 2000s…

I am not sure why Irmscher is actually not building this car. I think it looks good and certainly is technically mature enough to entertain a lot of drivers.

Pity. It’s a thing of beauty…
