Opel Kapitan P2 1961 • Cirebon, West Java. Indonesia • The Opel Kapitän is a luxury car made in several different generations by the German car manufacturer Opel from 1938 to 1970. • Kapitän P2 (1959--1963) • The P2 Kapitän came to market in August 1959 and while it still had the panoramic windscreen, it gained a new grille and a redone body with a more angular roof and a new rear. It was driven by a stronger new, oversquare 2.6-liter-inline six (bore x stroke: 85 x 76.5 instead of 80 x 82 mm), still of OHV and pushrod design. Carried over were the 3-speed and 4-speed overdrive transmission; the latter was replaced from December 1960 by a version of GM´s 3-speed Turbo-Hydramatic automatic. • The P2 climbed to a top speed of 150 km/h (93.2 mph), reached 100 km/h (62 mph) in 16 seconds and consumed 12 L/100 km (24 mpg-imp; 20 mpg-US). • From August 1959 to December 1963, Opel built 145,618 units of this Kapitän series. No other Opel Kapitän model, before or subsequently, achieved such a high production level. • The large Opels were never dominating players in their market segment on the same scale as the smaller Rekord and Kadett models, possibly due to the strength of Mercedes-Benz in the big car sector. Nevertheless the highpoint for the big Opels was 1960 when together the Kapitän and Admiral were Europe's top-selling six-cylinder saloons, with nearly 48,000 sold. • • • Overviews • Production: 1959 -1963 • Powertrain: • Engine 2.6 l-I6, 90 PS (89 hp) • Transmission 3-speed manual • Dimensions: • Wheelbase 2,800 mm (110.2 in) • Length 4,831 mm (190.2 in) • Width 1,812 mm (71.3 in) • Height 1,512 mm (59.5 in) • Curb weight 1,340 kg (2,954.2 lb) • • Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opel_Kap...
