The second generation Manta had more "sporty" styling, including a droop-snoot nose simular to the Vauxhall Cavelier Mk.I. The Vauxhall equivalent of the Manta was the Cavalier Mk1 Sports Hatch and Cavalier Mk1 Coupe. Engines were available ranging from the small 1.2-litre OHV engine, the 1.6-litre CIH and the 1.9-litre CIH. and from 1976 the GT/E engine from the Manta A series was adapted into the Manta B programme to create the GT/E Manta B series. In 1979 the GT/E had the engine replaced with the new 2.0 litre CIH with a new designed Bosch L injection system and an ouput of 110 PS. The 1.9-litre engine gave way to the 2.0 litre S engine which was aspirated by a Varajet II carburettor. Opel also offered a dealer-installed tuning kit for the fuel-injected engine, promising at least 125 PS
The three door hatchback version appeared in 1977
Both Manta versions received a facelift in 1982, which included a plastic front spoiler, sideskirts for the GT/E and GSi models, a small wing at the rear and quadruple air intakes on the grille, and the 1.2, 1.6 and 1.9 litre engines were deleted. replaced by the 1.3-litre OHC engine, the 1.8-litre OHC and the 2.0-litre S and E and the GTE was renamed GSi from 1983, except in the United Kingdom.
In 1986 Opel released the last Manta B model the Exclusive (1987 in the UK), giving it all of the best in equipment. Recaro seats with red cloth, grey leather like interior and the full bodypack known from the i200 models. This consisted of twin round headlights in a plastic cover, front spoiler and rear lower spoiler from Irmscher, sideskirts and the known 3 split rear spoiler of the Manta 400 In the UK, the Exclusive GT/E models were available in colours such as Dolphin Grey with matching dark grey cloth seats with red piping. These also had the quad headlights, front spoiler but a rear bumper which housed the number plate, coupled with a black plastic strip between the rear light clusters. The rear spoiler was similar to the standard GT/E. Opel finally ceased the production of the Manta B in 1988,
