Description
Description
When the Opel Speedster Turbo was introduced in 2003, it represented everything enthusiasts had been waiting for. Based on the lightweight philosophy of the Lotus Elise, but equipped with Opel's potent turbocharged Z20LET engine, the Speedster Turbo transformed an already thrilling sports car into a genuinely rapid driver's machine. With production limited to approximately 1,000 examples worldwide, the Turbo version has become by far the most sought after variant of the Speedster range.
About this Speedster
This 2003 Opel Speedster Turbo is an exceptionally preserved example, finished in elegant Starsilber III Metallic and showing just 3,865 km from new. Even among the already rare Speedster Turbo models, examples with such remarkably low mileage are almost impossible to find today.
Adding further significance to this particular car is the signature of its exterior designer, Martin Smith, displayed on the dashboard. This unique detail links the car directly to the man responsible for penning one of the most distinctive European sports cars of the early 2000s.
The Speedster spent its life with long term ownership in Germany and remains accompanied by its original documentation, invoices, service book, accessory lists and maintenance records from Opel Autohaus Bichmann in Menden. The original vehicle documentation confirms delivery in May 2003 and continuous maintenance throughout its life.
Exterior
Finished in factory Starsilber III Metallic, this Speedster presents exactly as a highly cherished collector's example should. The clean silver paintwork beautifully highlights the dramatic curves and exposed aluminium chassis architecture that made the Speedster so visually striking when new. The compact dimensions, low stance and purposeful proportions remain every bit as exciting today as they were two decades ago.
Documentation supplied with the car indicates the desirable factory hardtop was fitted when new, along with several original Opel accessories, further enhancing both practicality and collectability.
Interior
The minimalist cockpit reflects the Speedster's uncompromising sporting focus. Every element was designed with weight saving in mind, creating a pure and engaging driving environment. The low seating position, exposed aluminium details and simple instrumentation place the driver at the centre of the experience.
Most notably, the dashboard carries the signature of Martin Smith, the car's exterior designer, providing a rare and highly personal provenance feature seldom encountered on any vehicle.
Engine
Mounted behind the passenger compartment is Opel's celebrated 2.0 litre Z20LET turbocharged four cylinder engine. Producing 200 hp, the power unit transformed the lightweight Speedster into a genuinely rapid sports car, capable of reaching 100 km/h in under five seconds.
The combination of just over 900 kg kerb weight, rear wheel drive, a close ratio five speed gearbox and Lotus derived chassis tuning delivers a driving experience that feels raw, direct and wonderfully analogue. Even by modern standards, few sports cars offer such immediate steering response and driver involvement.
The car retains its matching numbers Z20LET engine, documented in both the service records and factory vehicle documentation.

Summary
Few modern collectible sports cars combine rarity, engineering purity and usability quite like the Opel Speedster Turbo. Being one of only approximately 1,000 Turbo models produced is already special, but finding one finished in desirable Starsilber III Metallic, showing only 3,865 km, accompanied by comprehensive documentation and carrying the signature of designer Martin Smith elevates this example into a category of its own.
For collectors seeking one of the finest surviving Speedster Turbos available, this car represents a unique opportunity to acquire an exceptionally original and highly significant example of Opel's lightweight performance icon.
