Opel Presents New Frontera Olympus

The Frontera Olympus is the new top-of-the-line model in Opel's range of off-road vehicles. The attractive special edition, designed in collaboration with Olympus Optical (Europa) GmbH, will premiere at the International 4x4 Motor Show in Val d'Isere, France (August 11 – 19, 2001). The Frontera Olympus is available in "Star silver" and "Midnight black"; its color scheme and interior design were inspired by the Olympus IS All-In-One SLR (Single Lens Reflex) camera series with integrated zoom. The bumpers, radiator grille, side protection moldings and hardtop (only for three-door Frontera in "Star silver") are painted in body color. The exterior design is matched by the interior with its dark gray seats and part-leather upholstery. The instrument panel,center console and seat belts are in silver gray and the floor mats carry the Olympus logo. And a special bonus: Every new Frontera Olympus buyer will find an Olympus IS 300 camera waiting for him or her in the car.

The Frontera Olympus is available with three or five doors and a choice of two gasoline (2.2 16V and 3.2 V6) engines and one diesel (2.2 DTI 16V), and features a comprehensive standard equipment specification like regular Fronteras.

In 1999, Olympus and Opel began a long-term marketing cooperation for the off-road Frontera and the Olympus All-in-One IS-300 camera. The versatile IS-300 from Olympus is a perfect match for the Frontera's adventure image – spectacular photographs have always played an important role in the advertising for Opel's off-road model.
