Short test: Opel Adam 1.4 74 kW Jam Motorsport Edition // When I'm big, I'll be Tim
200 "horsepower", sequential gearbox, roll cage, racing seats, six-point seat belts ... Adam has it all. But not the one we rode.

Tim Novak, the realist who has just successfully finished this season in his Opel Adam R2 as best in his division and third overall in the national championship, certainly has an aspiring dreamer among his fans who would like to follow him. Steps. And what is the best way for you to approach a world in which Tim is successful? The Slovenian representative of the Opel brand came up with a special version of the Adam, which in many ways resembles the racing Adam, but not in terms of driving characteristics. In a nutshell: The base is an Adam with a 1,4 horsepower 100-liter classic engine and a five-speed manual transmission. So, the car that we have in the Auto store has already been thoroughly “processed” and has remained practically unchanged to this day. A good car that, with its still fresh design, challenges the rapid progress of its competitors. Perhaps this is even more noticeable from the inside, since little Adam has not yet touched on the topic of "digitization" or "advanced assistance systems", but he is still a useful and comfortable city car, which is sufficient if it is separated by no more than two people. time.
To make this Adam look like Adam Tim, Opel will charge you € 310 for the Motorsport Edition package. For this money, the car will be painted in the colors of the racing battle, and you will also receive a hat and T-shirt with Tim's signature. And perhaps most interestingly, you can spend one day with Tim, who teaches you a dynamic yet safe way to drive in a dedicated driving training session.
