In every new Opel passenger compartment there may be one or two stylized sharks, hidden in the most absurd places! Usually, they can be drawn in the glove box, on the rubber panels, inside the door handles, at the base of the front cockpit or in many other mysterious places!

But how did this idea come about? And when? The German carmaker several years ago explained the origin of this ‘Easter Egg’ inside many of its cars: “It all started on a Sunday afternoon in 2004 when Opel designer Dietmar Finger was at home working on a project for the new Corsa. In particular, he was thinking of the unspectacular passenger glove box panel, which remains invisible most of the time. However, when the compartment is open, this panel must guarantee its stability, which happens thanks to the ribs integrated into the plastic surface ”.

The explanation for this crazy idea goes on like this: “Dietmar was in charge of designing these ribs, and that was exactly what he was doing when iThe son came up to him, took a look at the drawing and said ‘Dad, why don’t you make a shark?’ ‘Of course, why not?’ thought the designer, and gave the ribs the shape of a shark, thus giving birth to an idea and a passion. The next day he showed the shark to Niels Loeb, the Corsa’s chief designer at the time, who immediately embraced the idea. The shark in the drawer went into series production and that was how the success of the ‘Opel shark’ began “.

From that idea conceived almost for fun by the son of the Opel designer this idea was born, which has been handed down for almost 20 years on many models of the German car manufacturer!
