Opel Corsa OPC Nurburgring Edition additional power is delivered by modified engine management and turbocharger systems, a sports exhaust with reduced back pressure, and optimization for 100 octane fuel. As a result, the maximum output of the 1.6-liter OPC turbo engine is raised from 141 kW/192 hp to 154 kW/210 hp, giving a specific power rating of 131.4 hp per liter which is exceptional in this engine class. The maximum torque of the base engine (230-266 Nm) is also increased to 250 Nm and 280 Nm when the turbocharger’s ‘overboost’ function is activated.
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.
