The Opel Speedster is a Targa produced by Opel from 2000 to 2005 in the British Norfolk plant at the Lotus plant. In England it was sold as the Vauxhall VX220, and in Asia as the Daewoo Speedster. The car was built on the basis of the second generation Lotus Elise and was equipped with 2 and 2.2 liter engines. The Speedster was one of the most affordable roadsters, with an estimated price of $30,000 in Germany.[1]

In 2003, the Opel Speedster Turbo version appeared with a two-liter supercharged engine developing 200 hp.
