Hello,
Found these photo's on the web of the original concept and prototype:

Good find!!

You can see the family resemblence to the 1970's Opel Commodore and Calibra.  Better, I think, than was actually on the finished vehicle.   Also, like how the concept wheels really fill the arches.  Looks quite good to me....

good find indeed - i do prefer the finished version to the prototype though  

[Bo Bo]

I like the way the wheels sit in the arches too.....

Agreed, looks very sporty

They're late model Carlton GSI wheels!!

Looks good......and easy to see how they styled the irmscher kits, hints of the same styling on front and rear bumpers.

I noticed that to, you can see the twist which you get on the irmscher facelift side sills which continue's to the rear bumper

the finished version is much better.

the finished version is much better.

Agreed

Its classic imaginary 'art student' style design concept in the first two......the final pic is after the engineers have adapted it to the real world....

If you had the wheels and arch profiles of the first one....can you imagine how much suspension travel you would get!

Ah, but if we had proper roads like in Germany, then you wouldn't have so many bumps and potholes, so you wouldn't need so much travel. I have just returned from a short hol driving a Renault Modus hire car. Getting back in to the Omega is Wonderful
