Following the launch of the new Opel Astra OPC, GMSA has released details about the Opel Corsa OPC Nurburgring Edition which will make its way to South Africa in October, boosting the product line-up as a halo model. The limited edition is perhaps unsurprisingly available in limited numbers.

Opel Corsa OPC Nurburgring Edition – Features

Exterior Design

Designed to be the hottest Corsa ever, the new Opel Corsa OPC Nurburgring Edition offers a rare blend of raw power, performance and passion. The range-topping model boasts a host of visual changes which include a front lip spoiler, a new rear roof-mounted spoiler, dual exhaust pipes, and exclusive 18-inch alloy wheels with high performance Brembo disc brakes.

Interior Design

Inside, the Opel Corsa OPC has Recaro sports seats in Nappa leather, while equipment upgrades include rain-sensing wipers, automatic climate control and an upgraded audio system with USB and Bluetooth compatibility.

Engine specs

Under the hood is a turbocharged 1.6-liter engine which produces 154 kW at 5850 rpm and 250 Nm of torque from 2 250 rpm – and as much as 280 Nm on overboost. Thanks to the added performance, the car can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 6.8 seconds and hit a top speed of 230 km/h. Fuel consumption combined cycle average is rated at 7.6-litres/100km with carbon emissions of 178 g/km.

More detailed information on the new Opel Corsa OPC Nurburgring Edition’s heightened performance and various other upgrades will be made available closer to the time of launch.
