1979 Bitter SC

When Bitter Cars launched in 1973, they focused on the premium sports luxury market, re-bodying other manufacturers' cars.

The first SC model launched was the coupé in 1979, followed by the convertible in 1981 at the Frankfurt Auto Show and the sedan in 1984. Like the CD, the SC was based on Opel's largest model at the time, the Opel Senator. It remained in production until 1989 although fewer than 500 SC’s were built.

Exterior styling design echoed that of the Pininfarina-designed Ferrari 365 GT4 2+2 first shown in 1972, and later marketed as the 400 (1976) and 412 (1979). The SC was powered by a fuel-injected Opel 3.0-litre in-line 6-cylinder engine of (177 hp (132 kW)) or a stroked 3.9-Litre version of (207 hp / 154 kW)). The 207 hp Opel engine gave the Bitter SC a powerful sports car feel, with a distinctive look from traditional Opel vehicles. Despite the exterior, sales never increased and only a handful ever sold in the US, mostly in NYC.
