The Opel Adam[1][2] is a city car engineered and produced by the German automaker Opel, named after the company's founder Adam Opel. The Adam is being sold as the Vauxhall Adam in the United Kingdom. It was launched at the 2012 Paris Motor Show, with sales starting in early 2013.
An OPC/VXR version of the Adam is planned as well as a convertible variant.
The Adam production began at the Eisenach plant in Germany in January 2013.
From 2014, the Adam will use a new family of direct-injected small displacement engines codeveloped by Opel and SAIC.[3] The Adam is based on a shortened version of Corsa D platform - GM Fiat Small platform.
