Normal_aspirated Clutched January 7, 2007 Share January 7, 2007 (edited) Another variant of new Opel Corsa.......checkout here: http://www.eurocarblog.com/post/457/opel-c...pc-vauxhall-vxr Carscoop has published the first official images of the Vauxhall Corsa VXR, the english version of the Opel Corsa OPC, from which it will differ only in the front grille and in being right-hand drive instead of left-hand drive. The Opel Corsa OPC will be shown in public for the first time at the next Geneva auto show (march 2007). The Corsa OPC / Vauxhall VXR will feature 18" alloy rims, aggressive front apron and rear spoiler, race-like external mirrors and a big triangular exhaust tube, embedded in the rear air diffuser. The interior will feature Recaro sport seats and a flat-bottomed steering wheel. The engine is a 1.6-liter turbocharged unit derived from the one mounted on the Meriva OPC, which on the Corsa will output 190 ps and 261 Nm of torque. Thanks to this engine, the Corsa OPC will sprint from 0-100 km/h (0.62 mph) in 6,8 seconds, a tad faster than the Clio RS, with a top speed of 225 km/h. To cope with the added power the suspensions have been revised, with new damper and spring settings. Some help will also come from a new ESP system. or here: http://www.businessweek.com/autos/content/...index+page_news The new Vauxhall Corsa has already caused quite a sensation with its bold styling and impressive road manners, but now the wraps have come off the long awaited performance flagship VXR version Edited January 7, 2007 by Normal_aspirated ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dlar2 Neutral Newbie May 27, 2007 Share May 27, 2007 Sorry to all for digging up this old thread (instead of posting new thread). Saw a review by JK in today's Malaysian The Sunday Times talking about this car, wonder is it ever going to make it to Singapore. To give Golf GT, Peugeot 207 GTi, and also Fiat Bravo a run of its money. Anyone got any info?? http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/carreviews/fi..._corsa_vxr.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genghiskt 2nd Gear May 28, 2007 Share May 28, 2007 I don't think it can make it here. Because the volume is small and GM can't price it competitively. But its remind me of the Daihatsu GTti Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cbx750p 1st Gear June 6, 2007 Share June 6, 2007 (edited) The Corsa should make it to our shores but the question is when ! Since it is already June, it only a matter of months before the new model year 2008 turns into the corner and bringing in a "old" model would not make economic sense to both GM and the dealer. My best guess, is that the Corsa should come around Nov or Dec 2007 just to make it into the new year 2008. As for the OPC model, I would think that GM should bring this in as well. Imagine, 1.6 turbo with 192 bhp ! Very few babes can beat that ! If it ever gets here, it should be very popular among the boy racers and give an important boost to the Opel name here.

DACH Supersonic March 21, 2018 Share March 21, 2018 Opel Corsa GSi 2019 https://www.motor1.com/news/236824/2018-opel-corsa-gsi-revealed/ Following the launch of the Insignia GSi last year in both liftback and wagon body styles, Opel is ready to slap on the “GSi” badge on the Corsa. Likely serving as a last hurrah for the current generation of the supermini, the hot hatch version will be offered in a three-door flavor with a racy body to set it apart from the lesser models of the range. Some of the goodies include bigger air vents, a honeycomb front grille, red brake calipers, a chrome exhaust tip, and wheels up to 18 inches in size. The main highlight of the Corsa GSi will be the Sport chassis borrowed from the hardcore OPC version to make the feisty hatchback feel more nimble around the corners. Opel has also added a beefier roof-mounted rear spoiler created not only to boast the model’s visual appeal, but also to generate extra downforce to keep the car glued to the road. Images of the interior cabin are not available at this point, but we do know customers will be given the possibility to spend extra on a pair of body-hugging Recaro seats. There’s also a leather-wrapped sports steering wheel, accompanied by a sporty gearshift knob also clad in leather. An aluminum sport pedal set rounds off the upgrades inside the Corsa OPC. Oddly enough, Opel isn’t saying for the moment what will power the latest member of the Corsa family. Logic tells us it will feature the strongest engine available for a non-OPC model, as it is the case with the Insignia GSi. In other words, don’t be too surprised if the Corsa GSi will use a turbocharged 1.4-liter gasoline unit with 148 horsepower and 162 pound-feet (220 Newton-meters) of torque. It should be enough for a sprint to 62 mph (100 kph) in 8.9 seconds and a top speed of 129 mph (207 kph). The hot hatch is slated to go on sale later this year and will be joined by its Vauxhall-badged counterpart for the U.K. market. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
