Opel Ascona: The last RWD Rally Champion car ever - @DrivingwithGloves
In this episode from Driving With Gloves, Cor had the opportunity to drive a Rally car from the early 1980's, thanks to Simon Car in Ago in Switzerland. www.simonscar.ch Although in the middle of the winter and although in the early moning on still snowy streets, these conditions were simply perfect to drive this spartanic Opel Ascona 400 model. It is the same model as the car which brought the famous Walter Röhrl to his 2nd World Champion Rally title in 1982. Therefor it was the last Rear Wheel Drive Rally car ever, which won this title. And this makes the car so special. Only 269 were built. www.drivingwithgloves.info
About Opel Ascona
The Opel Ascona is a large family car that was produced by the German automaker Opel from 1970 to 1988. It was produced in three separate generations, beginning with rear-wheel-drive and ending up as a front-wheel drive J-car derivative. The Ascona was developed to fill the gap in the Opel range as the Opel Rekord was gradually growing in size.
