Opel recently added a new member in the family. Opel Corsa OPC is the newest release and will be presented for the first time at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2007. The model can be included in the sport category for its appearance and its technical characteristics. The OPC presents a 1.6 liter turbocharged engine, developing 192 hp which gives the possibility to accelerate from zero to 100 km/h in 7.2 seconds and reach the top speed of 225 km/h.The car is provided with an “overboost” facility, which allows the maximum torque of 230 Nm to be increased to over 260 Nm.
All though it is a performing model, when it comes to the fuel consumption the OPC requires only 7.9 liters per 100 km.
The new OPC goes with 17 –inch alloy rims and 215/45 R17 tires, also available with 18 –inch rims and 225 tires.
With a 16 –inch break system that ensures deceleration, a well-designed chassis, an ESP system and assisted power steering, Corsa OPC is the perfect image of performance and viability.
Having a sophisticated interior and a sport chassis, the OPC tends to be this year’s greatest success.
