We can all probably agree that the most important change regarding Opel’s 2015 Corsa OPC is the addition of a new 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, providing an additional 18 horsepower over the outgoing model. There’s also a slick six-speed manual transmission and an optional limited slip differential for those open track days at the Nurburgring, but does it have the looks to compiment its track-proven pedigree?
Compared to the standard Corsa, the Corsa OPC has a redesigned front fascia with aluminium-trimmed openings, black ‘wings’ jetting out from either side of the Opel grille badge, a new hood intake, side skirts, a rear diffuser, twin exhaust tips and a sporty rear hatch spoiler. Those of you familiar with the Corsa range will note the new-generation car bears a strong resemblance to the Corsa D, so if you who were a fan of the previous-gen Corsa OPC and Corsa Nurburgring Edition, you shouldn’t have any problems warming up to the new model.
We don’t think the Corsa OPC represents the full extent of what Opel’s design studio of capable of, but it’s a nice update over the previous model, and should appease European shoppers looking for a fresh hot hatchback. Let us know if you agree by voting hot or not below, and feel free to discuss the latest edition to Opel’s OPC lineup below.

Corsa will compete nicely against Ford Fiesta. The Adam-like design makes this car truly unique when compared with competition.
Why is GM not doing something similar in the States? Chevy offers bare bones Spark and Sonic when Opel sourced products would be far more appealing. A partnership between Chevy and Opel would be perfect given that they are both value oriented brands.
This generation of Opel offerings are not Federalized but hopefully this will change next generation.
Why do you always repeat that Chevy thing??? Looak at what happended when Opel and Chevy shared cars in Europe. It was a compeltely fail….Every coproduced between Opel and Chvey car Opel offered in Europe was a complete flop!!!
Chevy is a low cost brand in Europe while Opel would be a semi premium brand in the US (a fact if you look where Buick is placed).
The cooperation between Buick and Opel makes sense as they bove are positioned in the same area (concerning quality) and as they don’t compete against each other in the same markets.
living beyond its strategy for GM OPEL CORSA E. corsa is certainly better by picking matters. has taken the best things in the previous Corsa and more advanced.
the most tormenting me, that is called a full cartridge, a new e cors. I believe that if GM would have called e Corsa facelift model then people would be better to heed. However, the GM called to a whole new corsa and it’s disappointing.
it is interesting to see what time corsa opc drives in this test. how much better is the e corsa opc.

corsa opc e is basically an old Opel Corsa OPC nyrburgring edition. Will there be corsa opc e nyrburgring edition model aahhhaaaaaa
I’d guess regards the ring edition the new Corsa VXR will fill that void with the Adam VXR filling the standard previous generation Corsa VXR’s role.
albeit that adam opc. But my point was that the e Corsa OPC is an old Opel Corsa OPC Nurburgring Edition. Now that is the Opel Corsa e OPC Nurburgring Edition as well ahhaaa.
opel corsa d opc nurburgring edition + nurburgring edition .
opel corsa d Nurburgring Edition was already sounded pretty top-tuned to give the tune yet. People themselves tuunivad but whether GM will corsa opc e Nurburgring Edition.
Certainly, you can still tune corsa opc e Nurburgring Edition. But I can not imagine it pretty well. Opel Corsa OPC is already far advanced to the old corsa d Nurburgring Edition in order to further develop the engineers can think of.
