What if Open Kadett but with a race-spec BMW straight-six with a rev limit of 11,000rpm? That’s what we have to ask today. Frankly, we don’t think you have a reason as to why not. This absolutely mad hillclimb racer you’re seeing in this video is not some kind of heat-induced delusion. It’s real.
Video: This crazy Opel Kadett revs to 11,000rpm
Quite how much actual Kadett is left, we are not so sure of. Sprouting outwards from that once humble shape are arches that could match a Zakspeed Capri, a comically large wing and diffuser and a face that can only be described as suffering with a Hillclimb gurn. We approve in the strongest possible terms.
