The Opel Speedster also known as the Vauxhall VX220 is a mid-engined, targa-topped, two seat sports car sold by the German automaker Opel, introduced in July 2000. It was built in both RHD and LHD versions, at the Lotus Cars plant in Hethel, Norfolk, England. It was presented at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1999.
It was sold as the Vauxhall VX220 in the United Kingdom and shared much in common with the Lotus Elise, although Opel claimed few parts were interchangeable.

The car also features bodywork made entirely of glass-reinforced plastic (GRP). The entire car weighs only 875 kg (1,929 lb), which made it 100 kg (220 lb) lighter than the similarly sized Toyota MR2. At launch, the Speedster's all aluminium alloy 2.2 L Z22SE engine produced 145 hp (147 PS; 108 kW), making the Speedster considerably more powerful than the Elise was at launch.

The car is capable of accelerating to 60mph in under 6 seconds with some testers claiming 5.6 seconds, while the top speed is somewhere between 135 and 140mph. The original naturally aspirated car is often overlooked as the later and faster Turbo model grabbed the limelight, however many that have driven both have concluded that while slower, the lighter weight and linear power delivery of the NA makes it the more enjoyable drivers car.
