Meet Opel’s new Corsa OPC
The new Opel Corsa OPC combines extreme uncompromising athleticism with outstanding suitability for everyday use with a 1.6-litre turbocharged engine and sporty looks.
Apart from the new OPC-exclusive paint in Flash Blue the Corsa OPC also boasts a new front-end design with new large air intakes. In particular, the aluminum-framed openings below the headlights create a visual link to the Corsa’s bigger sports brother, the Astra OPC. A small scoop is located in front of the distinctive hood giving the Corsa OPC an additional visual dash of athleticism. The dynamically modelled flanks with bold sill side trims create the appropriate connection to the rear end.
The interior also creates a sporty ambience with the leather steering wheel flattened at the bottom, the OPC gear knob and the sports pedals along with the characteristic instruments in an OPC design.
In addition, drivers will not miss out on Opel’s outstanding connectivity. Opel’s IntelliLink infotainment system will be available as an option and bring the world of smartphones, both Apple iOS and Android, to the Corsa OPC.
Drivers looking for even more racing flair can turn to the Corsa OPC Performance Package.
The Performance Package ensures that the Corsa OPC becomes a true athlete that can deal with the demands of both the urban jungle and the Green Hell: while they know that the Corsa OPC will spend some time in city traffic, the development engineers have made sure, with their usual OPC tests on the Nürburgring Nordschleife, that it can take on all challenges of the toughest race track in the world.
The new Corsa OPC is planned for launch in South Africa in the third quarter of 2015.
