Opel Rekord has come in many variants P I, PII, A, B, C, D and E each of them addressing the technology advancements happened in the respective years they belong to. The Rekod E is the latest replacing the D version. Though the wheelbase and the engine range are inherited from the car model that it replaced, it still has certain new features like slightly wider and longer with the windows quite larger and higher. Thus the entire design seems to be significantly heavier than the former model that it has replaced. The body style is made available in 2 and 4 door in Saloon, 3 and 5 door station wagon, and the 3 door panel van. The van body style was offered only in countries where the tax advantages can be leveraged.
The positioning of the camshaft just above the cylinders enabled the chain driven mechanism to take control of the valve operations with the help of rocker arms. The engines from Rekord E are likely to give power output values of 66kW (90PS) being the low, 74kW (100PS) in the middle, and finally the 81kW (110 PS) at higher end.
