Turbo power: New Opel Corsa OPC with 152 kW/207 hp and up to 280 Nm torque.

“The new Opel Corsa OPC impressively proves how high our engineers have set the bar in the sporty small car segment. It is the fastest Corsa ever – validated on the Nürburgring. Yet our new high-performance athlete is not one cent more expensive. On the contrary, it offers even more than before: more power, more speed, more OPC feeling,” says Peter Christian Küspert, Vice President Sales & Aftersales Opel Group, summing up the benefits for customers. “And for those who want to pack even more OPC feeling into the production version, we offer the OPC Performance Package – the ultimate in sportiness in this class.”

Performance, speed and torque galore: Newest Corsa OPC generation

The Corsa OPC is the athlete of the small car family. It makes this clear with its characteristic design featuring large air intakes, a bold, distinctive hood, prominent rear spoiler and twin-pipe Remus exhaust system. The tailpipes add further acoustic emphasis to the 1.6-liter turbo gasoline engine’s performance potential. Compared to its predecessor, it boasts 15 hp higher output and up to 50 Nm higher torque, enabling impressive sprints. The new Corsa OPC accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 6.8 seconds according to latest data – almost a half-second faster than the Corsa OPC from the previous generation. When overtaking in fifth gear, the new edition needs three-tenths of a second less, now just 6.4 seconds from 80 to 120 km/h. Maximum speed is also boosted by 5 km/h and now reaches up to 230 km/h. These figures are comparable to the existing OPC Nürburgring Edition – but for an amazing 4,000 euros less. The new Corsa OPC brings its performance to the road safely and solidly thanks to innovative Frequency Selective Damping (FSD) technology. Experienced drivers can even switch off the ESP completely when pushing the vehicle to its limits. Like all Opel OPC models, the new Corsa also successfully completed an extensive testing program on the most challenging race track in the world – the Nürburgring Nordschleife.

Sporty and stylish New Opel Corsa OPC - Interior with Recaro performance seats

The new Opel Corsa OPC interior also creates a sporty ambience. Recaro performance seats, which offer passengers optimum side support even in the most demanding maze of corners, are prominent. The leather steering wheel, flattened at the bottom, the OPC gear knob for the short ratio six-speed gearbox and the sports pedals along with the instruments in characteristic OPC design complete the interior. In addition, even these sporty drivers do not have to forego outstanding connectivity. Opel’s IntelliLink infotainment system is available as an option and brings the world of smartphones, both Apple iOS and Android, on board the Corsa OPC.

OPC Performance Package: Ultimate racing car flair on the road

Drivers looking for even more racing flair can order the OPC Performance Package for 3,150 euros. Its highlight is a mechanical multi-disc differential lock made by Drexler that ensures even better traction in the already exemplary front-wheel drive car.

It also includes 18-inch wheels with powerful grip Michelin tires, an even more athletic chassis set-up as well as a Brembo high performance braking system with 330-millimeter brake discs on the front axle that also provide optimal deceleration during extremely challenging driving such as a lap on the Nürburgring Nordschleife.

The Performance Package ensures that the Corsa OPC is the ultimate high-performance athlete.
