Standard performance figures give only hint of what it’s like to drive the Opel Corsa OPC Nürburgring Edition. It hits 100 km/h from a standing start in just 6.8 seconds, and in-gear elasticity is boosted by that plentiful torque generation. This small sports hatch completes the transition from 80 to 120 km/h in 5th gear in just 6.2 seconds, and with a top speed of 230 km/h it is among the performance leaders in its class.
Visual highlights include two new, exclusive body colors – apple-green ‘Grasshopper’ and red ‘Henna’ – as well as newly designed 8 x 18-inch, forged aluminum wheels in high-gloss grey, shod with the 225/35 R 18 V tires. Other features distinguishing the ‘Nürburgring Edition’ from the existing Opel Corsa OPC are a front spoiler lip and a new dual exhaust in stainless steel, as well as ‘Nürburgring’ logos on the B-pillars.
The sports interior features unique sill plates with black and red ‘Nürburgring’ lettering, and decorative white stitching on the front Recaro sports seats, as well as the rear seats, handbrake and gearshift console. The front seatbacks are also embossed with the ‘Nürburgring’ logo and the steering wheel insert is finished in piano black.
The Opel Corsa OPC Nürburgring Edition can be ordered at a recommended retail price of 27.650 euros (incl. VAT in Germany).
