Vauxhall reveals GTC Paris Concept
* Hints at new Astra Sport Hatch * Production version will be true to concept car * At least a year way from going on sale...
This is the Vauxhall GTC Paris Concept, which will make its debut at the Paris motor show later this month.
Hints at new Astra Sport Hatch
Vauxhall describes the GTC Paris Concept as 'the strongest hint yet to the Astra Sport Hatch's successor.'
The car maker has suggested that a production version 'will not stray far' from the concept car and that it will retain the GTC name for the production car.
The concept car is powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine with a start-stop system and is mated to a six-speed manual gearbox.
