by Brian Byrne. In what is likely to be deemed to sexiest Astra yet, Opel has combined its former cabrio and coupe variants into one new foldable hardtop, with the just-revealed Astra Twin Top.
The car will be seen in the metal first at Frankfurt.
Because of its its innovative three-part roof system, the trunk space of around 440 litres still leaves 200 litres when the roof is folded.
The wide engine range already familiar in the Astra will form the basis for the power units of the new car.
The TwinTop roof can be fully automatically opened or closed in less than 30 seconds.
