Early Launch Ahead of the Ascona
The Manta A was released in September 1970, two months before the then‑new Opel Ascona, highlighting Opel’s strategy of introducing a mildly sporting coupé ahead of its sibling model.
Two‑Generation Run and Near‑Million Production
The Manta spanned two generations – the Manta A and Manta B – from its debut in 1970 until production ceased in 1988, with almost a million units built during its lifespan.
Expanded Body‑Style Options in the Second Generation
The second generation (Manta B) was produced between 1975 and 1989 and was offered both as a coupe and a three‑door hatchback on the European market, reflecting a broader design approach.
