Opel Tigra

The first Tigra was based on the coupe concept car of the same name that was shown at the 1993 Frankfurt Motor Show, alongside an open-top Tigra Roadster concept and the Scamp off-roader/pick-up. The Tigra built on the platform of the second generation Opel Corsa B. The production vehicle was introduced in early 1994, and was built at GM's Zaragoza plant in Spain.

The Tigra shared no body panels with the Corsa on which it was based, and the interior layout was different too, with a 2+2 seating arrangement. Due to the coupe styling and compact dimensions of the car, rear seat space was limited.

The Tigra was available with two petrol engines options, both from the Ecotec family, a more affordable 1.4 L with 90 PS (66 kW), and a larger sportier version, powered by the 1.6 L engine with 106 PS (78 kW), sourced from the Corsa GSi and later Corsa Sports. Both were DOHC 16 valve engines with electronic fuel injection. The smaller engine was available with an optional 4-speed automatic gearbox. The 1.6L model was available with front fog lights as standard, a feature unavailable on the 1.4L version.
