Opel Commodore A sedan Opel Commodore A coupe rear Interior. The Opel Commodore A was manufactured from 1967 to 1971, based on the Rekord C. After having offered a Rekord-6 powered by a 2.6 L 6-cylinder engine (which originated in the Opel Kapitän and Admiral) since March 1964, [3] Opel in February 1967 launched the Commodore as a faster up-market version of the Rekord.
It was powered by the same engines as the contemporary Opel Admiral, namely a 2.6- or a 2.8-litre inline-six; a small number of Kapitäns even received the Chevrolet-sourced 4.6-liter V8. For the Austrian market, 580 Kapitän and Admiral models received the 2.5-liter version of the CIH six with an output of 112 PS (82 kW; 110 hp) in 1966 and 1967.
The engine first appeared in the Opel Rekord B in 1965, and was largely replaced in four-cylinder form by the GM Family II unit as Opel/Vauxhall's core mid-size engine in the 1980s, with the six-cylinder versions continuing until 1994 in the Omega A and Senator B. A large capacity 2.4L four-cylinder version continued until 1998.

Bitter originally considered using a V8 engine; the 2.5-liter V8 from the Lamborghini Urraco and a Holden V8 both underwent benchtesting. However, emissions levels, fuel consumption, and high costs precluded their installation.
