Digital experience: Opel’s high-performance concept car available in a racing simulator for the first time
Pure Performance: Overall output of 588 kW (800 hp), 800 Nm of torque and a top speed of 320 km/h
Gaming event: The world’s best Gran Turismo players compete in thrilling races in Berlin
The wait for gaming fans is almost over. In the build-up to the Gran Turismo World Series event held in Berlin on Saturday, September 20, gaming legend and Gran Turismo series producer Kazunori Yamauchi and Opel CEO Florian Huettl had teased that the first ever phygital concept car from Rüsselsheim, Opel Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo, will be available to play in the world’s premier racing simulator very soon. Today, Gran Turismo confirmed that the latest concept car from Rüsselsheim will be part of the game update on September 24.
“Today I'm very pleased to announce the Opel Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo. I actually have a very personal connection with Opel, because Mr. Hideo Kodama, who used to be the chief designer for Opel is also my mentor in car design. From Mr. Kodama, I learned about the history of automotive design, and received explanation about many different cars from around the world and throughout history,” said Gran Turismo series producer Kazunori Yamauchi.
“I am delighted that the Opel Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo will be available in Gran Turismo 7 from September 24. Its recent world premiere at the IAA Mobility 2025 in Munich generated a lot of interest – and we are now looking forward to putting into the hands of the gaming community. I hope everybody enjoys the epitome of our GSE label,” said Opel CEO Florian Huettl.
At the second round of the Gran Turismo World Series held at the Uber Eats Music Hall in Berlin, the Opel Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo provided the stunning backdrop as the premier Gran Turismo players in the world battled it out in front out thousands of spectators in the hall and millions watching the online broadcast.
As the name suggests, the Opel Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo not only gives a preview of upcoming all-electric GSE models, it also underlines Opel's commitment to the small car segment. In addition, the Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo offers another premiere, as it can be experienced and driven by anyone in one of the world's leading racing simulators – Gran Turismo 7 – from September 24. With its extraordinary design, a system output of 588 kW (800 hp), 800 Newton meters of torque, acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.0 seconds and a top speed of 320 km/h, the Opel Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo represents the epitome of Opel's high-performance GSE label.
The muscular and powerful appearance of the Opel Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo underlines its exceptional performance. The body is characterised by sharp and precise contours, combined with technical and mechanical details. The leitmotif that runs through the entire vehicle is the further sharpened Opel Compass. In addition, the high-performance show car shines with numerous aero solutions, from special aero curtains in front of the confidently designed front and rear fenders to particularly efficient aero wheels, the active aero diffuser and aero spoiler.
The cockpit also clearly follows the Opel Compass motif and conveys a pure racing driver feeling. The slim steering wheel allows a direct view of the most important information projected onto the head-up display – additional screens are superfluous. In this way, the Opel Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo opens up completely new perspectives. With the latest study, Opel is merging the digital world with the real world.
1993 until 2000: Second Opel Corsa generation continued success of best-selling small car
Safety benchmark: Opel Corsa B was first in class with double door beams and seatbelt tensioners
Pocket rocket: Opel Corsa GSi with 80 kW/109 hp, sports chassis and sharp styling
Start of new era: Second generation Corsa was first to be “Made in Eisenach”
Fun to drive goes electric: Locally emissions-free new Opel Corsa Electric in two power outputs available now
Opel Corsa is a success story, a long-running hit. Since its launch in 1982, more than 14.5 million units have been produced. The bestseller goes from success to success. It was the best-selling car in the United Kingdom in 2021 and Germany's most popular small car over the past two years. Now sales of the new Opel Corsa have begun – more modern, more digital and more diverse than ever. The new Corsa is available for the first time in two battery-electric performance levels as the Corsa Electric. In addition, the adaptive IntelliLux LED Matrix light, which the Corsa brought to the small car market segment in 2019, has also been further optimised. These are just two examples of the recipe that has made Opel’s smallest such a great success: make innovations from higher classes available to small car buyers – and above all affordable.
This applied especially to the second Opel Corsa generation. After the breakthrough of Opel Corsa A, introduced in 1982, it went one step further when it was launched exactly 30 years ago. With an independent design and features that set safety standards, as well as a high level of comfort and practical benefits, it celebrated worldwide success and even cracked the four-million mark in sales by the year 2000. In addition, as of 1993, Opel Corsa B opened a new era as the first Opel Corsa “made in Eisenach”.
Rounding the edges: Opel Corsa B - variants with new styling cues
The designers led by Hideo Kodama took a risk with the successor to the first Corsa. Despite the great success of the angular Opel Corsa A, the decision was made in Rüsselsheim to make Opel Corsa B more appealing to women. So Kodama got to work and designed a much rounder, softer Opel Corsa, whose headlights looked like large eyes. The smooth, rounded shapes were inspired by the Junior concept car, which had caused a stir a few years earlier. But the softly flowing contours also had a practical effect: they improved aerodynamics and thus reduced fuel consumption.
Also noticeable was the different design of the three and five-door models. The designers had practically created two models with their own character. They gave the three-door model a sporty silhouette with a coupé-like rear, while the five-door was the “family” variant with a more upright tailgate. The rear was more spacious for the passengers in the second row and the luggage volume increased to a maximum of 1,150 litres.
Opel Corsa B especially stood out with its wide range of variants. Five equipment levels from Eco to Swing, Joy and Sport to the GSi offered something for every taste, also thanks to the matching fabric patterns and colours. In addition, Opel complemented the three and five-door hatchbacks with an estate, a four-door notchback and even a pick-up for certain markets.
Benchmark for comfort and safety: Opel Corsa B set standards in its class
The further development from generation A to B also benefited comfort and, above all, safety. Opel Corsa grew by 10 centimetres to almost 3.73 metres in length, had a longer wheelbase and extremely short body overhangs. In addition, the windscreen had been pulled further forwards and the rear of the five-door model sloped down at a steep angle. All these measures enabled the Corsa B to offer the best values in its class in terms of space and freedom of movement (head, shoulder and leg room). Large windows and narrow pillars created a light, airy interior atmosphere and enabled good all-round visibility. In order to ensure a clear view from all sides, even in bad weather, a special windscreen surround on the sides kept rainwater away from the windows; the aerodynamically designed exterior mirror housings also had a small lip that prevented the accumulation of dirt on the mirror surface and the windows.
The second Opel Corsa generation set new safety standards in the small car segment. The torsional rigidity of the body had been increased by 40 per cent compared to its predecessor. For the first time in this class, double steel beams in the doors, offering passengers additional protection in the event of a side impact, and mechanical seabelt tensioners on the front seats, were fitted as standard. Height-adjustable seatbelts at the front and rear as well as anti-submarining ramps in the seat frames were other important safety features of all Opel Corsa models. And shortly after the launch, a full-size airbag for the driver was also available.
Opel’s little sportscar: Fun-to-drive Opel Corsa GSi
A particularly sporty variant hit the road in 1993, Opel Corsa GSi 16V. The sportiest Corsa of the time featured colour-keyed side-sills and bumpers as well as front and rear spoilers. The standard equipment also included electronically-controlled ABS, a rev-counter and wide tyres.
Opel Corsa GSi could sprint from zero to 100 km/h in 9.5 seconds and reach a maximum speed of 195 km/h. A sporty chassis and gas-filled shock absorbers helped to bring the performance onto the road. Sports seats and a leather-trimmed steering wheel created the right atmosphere in the cockpit.
Fun with responsibility: Resource conservation was built into the Opel Corsa B
At the same time, Opel showed even then that driving pleasure goes hand in hand with responsibility. Sustainability and resource conservation has always been a focal point of development for the brand with the Blitz.
The second Corsa generation set the benchmark here too, thanks to its efficient petrol engines with fuel injection and catalytic converters. With its particularly economical 1.2-litre engine (33 kW/45 hp), the Corsa already met emission standards in 1993 which came into force only three years later. And with an average consumption of 4.66 l/100 km, the Corsa Eco was “Europe's most economical car” in terms of weight and performance according to the ADAC and the ÖAMTC. In addition, with a pass-by noise of just 72 decibels in the early 1990s, it was also one of the quietest cars in Europe.
In 1990, Opel was the first car manufacturer with a recycling loop for automotive plastics. The subsequent recycling of end-of-life vehicles was therefore already considered during the design of the Corsa B. Unmixed plastic composites and easy-to-dismantle fastening techniques for individual components made an important contribution to environmentally compatible recycling. With the start of production at the Eisenach site 30 years ago, the Corsa was produced at one of the most modern and resource-efficient automobile plants in Europe.
Successful model: Over 14 million Corsas sold since 1982
Pioneer: Opel introduces top technologies from higher classes in small car
Bestseller: Sixth Opel Corsa generation again a market success
E-car: Electric Opel Corsa-e already accounts for around one-fourth of sales
2022 is an anniversary year for Opel: the company has been making innovations affordable for everyone for 160 years, and at the same time one of its biggest bestsellers is celebrating its 40th birthday. Opel Corsa revolutionised the small car class with its premiere in 1982 and today, in its sixth generation, is more in demand than ever. Last year, the current Corsa was the most popular small car in Germany and the best-selling car in the UK. Battery-electric Opel Corsa-e won the “Golden Steering Wheel 2020” 1, now already accounts for around one-quarter of Corsa sales and is successfully competing in motorsport as an emissions-free rally car.
But to fully understand the popularity of the Corsa since its debut in 1982, it is first necessary to look at another successful model with the Blitz – Opel Kadett. Initially an approximately 3.8-metre-long small car conceived and designed to bring mobility to more people at a time when driving a car was still real luxury. Then over the decades customers quickly became more discerning as their prosperity increased. Small Kadett became larger and more powerful in the second half of the 20th century, moving closer to the compact class with the arrival of each version. This created a slot below what had become Rüsselsheim’s classic entry-level model.
So it was high time for a new, genuine small car – time for the Corsa. The new small model rolled off the production line for the first time in the autumn of 1982 in the newly built car plant in Zaragoza and immediately took off on its path to becoming a bestseller for Opel. To date – 40 years after its launch – well over 14 million units have left the plants, most of them produced in Zaragoza and Eisenach.
This success is due in no small part to the numerous top technologies that have been introduced in the various Corsa generations and that were previously only available in higher vehicle classes. These include safety and assistance systems such as ABS and airbags as well as the front camera with distance indicator, traffic sign recognition and lane keep assist and, most recently, the adaptive glare-free Intelli-Lux LED Matrix light. Now in its sixth generation, the best-selling small car shows just how fit it is for the future. Since 2019, it has also been completely emissions-free for the first time: as the battery-electric Opel Corsa-e.
Opel Corsa – Success story in six acts
Act One: Opel Corsa A 1982 to 1993
Opel Corsa A featured close-coupled proportions within a short length of just 3.62 meters. It had bold, flared wheel-arches like a rallye car and an exceptionally low 0.36 drag coefficient which was possibly record-breaking for its class. Chief designer Erhard Schnell had created a sporty small car with crisp, chiseled lines, intended to particularly appeal to ‘the man of the house’. Highlight was the 100 hp Corsa GSi, and diesel power was also introduced. Two-door hatch and notchback line-up was expanded in 1985 with the addition of the popular five-door model. Opel Corsa A became a highly acclaimed top seller with 3.1 million units built.
Opel Corsa A GSi
Act Two: Opel Corsa B 1993 to 2000
Despite success of Corsa number 1, decision was taken in Rüsselsheim to position its successor as a real ‘ladies’ darling’. Opel design legend Hideo Kodama set to work and created a much rounder, softer Corsa, with appealing ‘saucer-eye’ headlamps which perfectly fit with cute, child-like looks. Opel Corsa B was ten centimeters longer and much more spacious inside than its predecessor. It also introduced higher safety standards to its segment, including ABS cadence braking, side-impact protection and front airbags. For special markets, next to the hatchback Opel again offered a notchback as well as station wagon and pick-up variants. Petrol engines already had fuel-injection technology and catalytic converters, while the GSi featured 16 Valves and diesel power was now turbo-charged. Second Opel Corsa was successful around the world, and sales topped the four million mark.

Act Three: Opel Corsa C 2000 to 2006
In the spirit of never changing a winning team, Hideo Kodama was again asked to design the shape of the Opel Corsa C. Styling was consciously oriented towards its successful predecessor. Opel Corsa grew again by ten centimetres to a total length of just under 3.84 metres and had a wider stance with a longer wheelbase, which greatly increased interior space. For the first time, the body was fully galvanized. Sophisticated four-valve ECOTEC petrol and new direct-injection turbo diesel engines ensured strong power, low fuel consumption and lowest emission values – all variants already complied to the Euro 4 emission standards. Opel Corsa C also became a star performer and sold 2.5 million units.

Act Four: Opel Corsa D 2006 to 2014
From now on, the three and five-door versions go their separate ways: the three-door Corsa has unique, coupé-like styling aimed at sporty customers, just like the original Corsa A. Five-door variant becomes a spacious, fully-fledged family car. Opel Corsa D was still less than four meters in length, having grown to exactly 3.999 meters. With Opel’s ecoFLEX technology, Corsa had fuel-saving Start/Stop systems and highly efficient engines. 1.3 CDTI ecoFLEX version consumed just 3.3 l/100 km over the combined cycle and emitted only 98 g/km CO2 (according to NEDC). Fourth generation Corsa sold over 2.9 million units.

Act Five: Opel Corsa E 2014 to 2019
Dynamic, practical and stylish, Opel Corsa E is also a bestseller with around 1.3 million units sold. Fifth generation is also built in the Opel plants in Zaragoza and in Eisenach. For the first time, the small star tops the four-metre mark, offering high comfort and top technologies over a length of 4.02 metres. Heatable steering wheel, seat heating and automatic climate control are of course on offer, as are the front camera with distance indicator, Traffic Sign Recognition and Lane Keep Assist. Corsa drivers are optimally connected with the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatible IntelliLink infotainment systems including a seven-inch colour touchscreen. Small car’s sporty top-of-the-line model is initially the 152 kW (207 hp) Opel Corsa OPC and later Opel Corsa GSi with 110 kW (150 hp).
Act Six: Opel Corsa F electric version introduced in 2019
Opel is optimally equipped for future challenges with Corsa number 6. The latest generation of the small car, which celebrated its world premiere at the 2019 Frankfurt International Motor Show, is also available as a purely battery-electric, emissions-free version for everyone for the first time. A real highlight is also the adaptive glare-free Intelli-Lux LED Matrix light, which Opel also offers for the first time in the small car segment with the current Corsa. In addition, there are numerous state-of-the-art assistance systems such as Forward Collision Alert with Automatic Emergency Braking and pedestrian detection as well as radar-based Adaptive Speed Control, which make driving even safer and more relaxed. With a length of 4.06 metres, the five-seat Corsa’s handling, clear lay-out and practicality remain exemplary. Coupé-like roof line is 48 millimetres lower than its predecessor – without any detriment to headroom. Driver sits 28 millimetres lower. Low centre of gravity benefits driving performance and handling. Latest Corsa is more direct and more dynamic – for more fun behind the wheel. With this recipe for success, the small car with the Blitz has once again become the most popular small car and the best-selling car in countries such as Germany and Great Britain respectively.
Opel Corsa F GS Line
Battery-electric bestseller is proving its electrifying effect on the public in several ways: in Germany, the series-production Corsa-e won the “Golden Steering Wheel 2020” 1 – and as a modified Corsa-e Rally, it is demonstrating in motorsport how top performance and environmental compatibility can be combined. With the emissions-free small car, Opel is the first manufacturer to develop a battery-electric rally vehicle that has been competing in the ADAC Opel e-Rally Cup, the world's first electric one-make rally cup, since 2021, thus showing the future of rallying.

Opel Corsa: A success story in five acts
Act One: Opel Corsa A - 1982 to 1993
As the smaller “Kadett brother” the Opel Corsa A debuted with a crisp,
short length of 3.62 meters, an exceptionally low, possibly
record-breaking 0.36 drag coefficient and bold, flared wheelarches in
rally car style. Chief designer Erhard Schnell had created a sporty
small car with sharp, chiseled lines, intended to particularly appeal to
‘the man of the house’. The highlight was the 100 hp Corsa GSi, and
diesel power was also introduced. The two-door hatch and notchback
line-up was expanded in 1985 with the addition of the popular five-door
model. The Corsa A became a highly-acclaimed top seller with 3.1 million
units sold.
Act Two: Opel Corsa B - 1993 to 2000
Despite the success of Opel Corsa Nr. 1, the decision was taken in
Rüsselsheim to position its successor as a real ‘ladies’ darling’.
Designer Hideo Kodama set to work and created a much rounder, softer
Opel Corsa, with appealing ‘saucer-eye’ headlamps. Opel Corsa B was ten
centimeters longer and much more spacious inside. It also introduced
higher safety standards to its segment, including ABS, side-impact
protection and front airbags. For special markets, next to the hatchback
Opel again offered a notchback as well as station wagon and pick-up
variants. Gasoline engines already had fuel-injection technology and
catalytic converters, while the GSi featured 16 valves and diesel power
was now turbo-charged. The second Opel Corsa was successful around the world,
and sales topped the four million mark.
Act Three: Opel Corsa C - 2000 to 2006
Hideo Kodama was again asked to design the shape of the Opel Corsa C. The
styling was consciously oriented towards its successful predecessor. The
new Corsa grew again by ten centimeter in length and had a wider stance
with a longer wheelbase, which greatly increased interior space. For
the first time, the body was fully galvanized. Sophisticated four-valve
ECOTEC gasoline and new direct-injection turbo diesel engines ensured
strong power, low fuel consumption and lowest emission values – all
variants already complied to the stringent Euro 4 emission standards.
The Corsa C also became a star performer and sold 2.5 million units.
Act Four: Opel Corsa D - 2006 to 2014
Like the Opel Corsa B, the three and five-door versions went their
separate ways: the three-door Opel Corsa had unique, coupé-like styling aimed
at sporty customers, just like the original Opel Corsa A. The five-door
variant became a spacious, fully-fledged family car. Opel Corsa D was
just under four meters long. With Opel’s ecoFLEX technology, the Corsa
had fuel-saving Start/Stop systems and highly efficient engines. The
fourth generation reached sales of 2.8 million units.
Act Five: Opel Corsa E - Since 2014
With 750,000 orders to date, the fifth Corsa generation is also built
in the Opel plants in Zaragoza and Eisenach as three and five-door
variants. Eisenach is also home to production of the Opel ADAM family,
so now the Corsa has little brothers – just like the Kadett once had the
Corsa.
The journey to becoming a multi-million bestseller: 12.3 million Corsas sold in 32 years
32 years of success: Opel Corsa A, B, C, D and E
In the beginning there was the Opel Kadett. Introduced by Opel in 1936, it was a fully-fledged car at an affordable price, and was designed to bring mobility to more people at a time when driving a car was still real luxury. The Opel brand then really took off in the era of Germany’s ‘economic miracle’ during the 1960s and early 1970s with the arrival of the Kadett A and B. In the process, customers quickly became more discerning as their prosperity increased and the small Kadett became larger and more powerful, moving closer to the mid-size class with the arrival of each version. This created a slot below what had become Rüsselsheim’s classic entry-level model. So the time was right to fill the gap with a new, genuine small car – enter the Opel Corsa.
Act One: 1982 to 1993 - Corsa A
Opel Corsa A Luxus, 1982.
The Corsa A featured close-coupled proportions within a short length of just 3.62 meters. It had bold, flared wheel-arches like a rallye car and an exceptionally low 0.36 drag coefficient which was possibly record-breaking for its class. Chief designer Erhard Schnell had created a sporty small car with crisp, chiseled lines, intended to particularly appeal to ‘the man of the house’. The highlight was the 100 hp Corsa GSi, and diesel power was also introduced. The two-door hatch- and notchback line-up was expanded in 1985 with the addition of the popular five-door model. The Corsa A became a highly-acclaimed, top seller with 3.1 million units built.

Opel Corsa A Swing, 1988.
Act Two: 1993 to 2000 - Corsa B
Opel Corsa B Joy, 1993.
Despite the success of Corsa A, the decision was taken in Rüsselsheim to position its successor as a real ‘ladies’ darling’. Opel design legend Hideo Kodama set to work and created a much rounder, softer Corsa, with appealing ‘saucer-eye’ headlamps which perfectly fit with cute, child-like looks.

Act Three:2000 to 2006 - Corsa C
Opel Corsa C 3-door, 2000.
In the spirit of never changing a winning team, Hideo Kodama was again asked to design the shape of the Corsa C. The styling was consciously oriented towards its successful predecessor. The new Corsa grew again by ten centimeter in length and had a wide stance with a longer wheelbase, which greatly increased interior space. For the first time, the body was fully galvanized. Sophisticated four-valve ECOTEC gasoline and new direct-injection turbo diesel engines ensured strong power, low fuel consumption and lowest emission values – all variants already complied to the stringent Euro 4 emission standards.

Opel Corsa C 5-door, 2001.
Act Four: 2006 to 2014 - Corsa D
Opel Corsa D 3-door, 2006.
From now on, the three and five-door versions go their separate ways: the three-door Corsa has unique, coupé-like styling aimed at sporty customers, just like the original Corsa A. The five-door variant becomes a spacious, fully-fledged family car. The current Corsa D is still less than four meters in length, having grown to exactly 3.999 meters. With Opel’s ecoFLEX technology, the Corsa has fuel-saving Start/Stop systems and highly efficient engines. The 1.3 CDTI ecoFLEX version consumes just 3.3 l/100 km over the combined cycle and emits only 88 g/km CO2. The fourth generation Corsa is now coming to the end of its production run, having sold 2.8 million units to date. Through four model generations, a total of 12.3 million Opel Corsas have been sold, with 11.7 million of them in Europe alone.

Act Five: From 2014 - Corsa E
Opel Corsa E 3-door, 2014.
Before the end of the year, customers will be enjoying the new Corsa E. The fifth generation will also be built in the Opel plant in Zaragoza and in Eisenach as three-door and five-door variants. Eisenach is also home to production of the Opel ADAM, which is now the Corsa’s little brother – just like the Corsa once was to the Kadett. So time passes by for cars, just like for people, and children grow up to be adults.
