Who knew that the Adam->ke4340, Opel's->ke65 little compact hatch, would turn out to be sassy ride that has caught the attention of so many athletes and musicians.
We've already seen what Valentino Rossi could do to the Opel Adam if you gave him free reign to customize it. Now, the German company is tapping into another famous celeb to customize the Adam: Canadian singer and photographer Bryan Adams.
Yes, this one is the Adam by Adams. Try saying that quickly five times over.
Known for his powerful ballads that dominated the airwaves in the 90's, Bryan Adams also happens to be a well-respected photographer and it's through this that Opel decided to team up with the singer, allowing him to take photos of the Adam for a calendar that will be called 'ADAM by Bryan Adams.
More than just taking photos, Opel also granted Adams a chance to design his own Adam, which if you ask us, looks really tantalizing in that dark camouflage finish all over its body. The special-edition Adam also features a black roof, tinted headlights, and a new set of black alloy wheels. Taken all of it together, the model explodes with an identity all its own, the kind you have a hard time getting out of your head, so much so that we wouldn't waste a minute pouncing on one if we had a chance to do so.
Geography, though, isn't so kind.
The special-edition Adam will be limited to just 10 units, with proceeds from the sale of all 10 models going to the Bryan Adams Foundation.

Opel’s resident compact hatch actually looks pretty sweet for such a little car. It won’t break any speed records, but for what it represents, there’s something about the Adam that speaks to the younger generation.
It looks cute. it’s got that brimming Opel attitude. Best of all, it can give the Fiat 500->ke1708 a serious run for its money.
