The Opel Ascona is a mid-sized car produced by Opel. It had three generations produced from 1970 to 1988. In motorsport, the Ascona 400 rally car driven by Walter Röhrl won the World Rally Championship drivers' title in the 1982 season.
The Ascona took its name from the lakeside resort of that name in Ticino, Switzerland, and already in the 1950s a special edition of the Opel Rekord P1 was sold as an Opel Ascona in Switzerland, where the name was again used in 1968 for a locally adapted version of the Opel Kadett B into which the manufacturers had persuaded a 1.7-litre engine borrowed from the larger Rekord model of the time.[1] The Opel Ascona A launched in 1970 and sold across Europe was, however, the first mainstream Opel model to carry the name.
The Ascona was introduced in September 1970 and ended production in August 1988, to be replaced by the Opel Vectra A.

Der Opel Ascona bezeichnet die automobile Mittelklasse von Opel zwischen 1970 und 1988. Der Name Ascona stammt vom gleichnamigen Dorf am Lago Maggiore in der italienischsprachigen Schweiz.
Schon Ende der 1950er Jahre wurden in der Schweiz einige Sondermodelle des Olympia Rekord P1 als Ascona bezeichnet. Außerdem gab es Ende der 1960er Jahre eine besondere Ausstattungsvariante des Kadett B als Ascona 1700 in der Schweiz.
Nachfolger des Opel Ascona ist der Opel Vectra.
