- Special attention: GSE-specific chassis put through its paces
- Hot hatch: New Corsa GSE promises thrilling, fully-electric performance
- Show premiere: Newcomer to be on display at Paris Motor Show
The Nürburgring in the Eifel region of Rhineland-Palatinate has made a name for itself as one of the most beautiful and challenging racetracks in the world. It is therefore no surprise that Opel saw it as the ideal place to apply the final tweaks to the new Corsa GSE before it goes into serial production later this year.
“The Opel Corsa GSE will be the next addition to the GSE family. We want everybody to enjoy fully-electric hot hatchback performance and exciting driving dynamics. That’s why we specifically travelled to the Nürburgring to put the final touches on the set-up. I am sure that everybody will enjoy the locally emissions-free driving pleasure it will offer,” said Marcus Lott, Member of the Opel Executive Committee and Senior Vice President Stellantis Lead Engineering Central Europe.
As can be expected from a performance model, the Corsa GSE will come with a sport chassis with specific throttle, steering and ESC tuning matching its power output. While at the Nürburgring, the team focused on the fine-tuning of precisely these elements to ensure the perfect set-up of the series production vehicle which will then be the most powerful series Corsa ever built.
Elsewhere, the all-electric high-performance variant of Germany's most popular small car will celebrate its show premiere at this year’s Paris Motor Show (October 12 to 18). With its electrifying design details, it will stand out from the crowd. And, of course, it will also deliver on this claim with thrilling performance on the road – tested on the Nürburgring. So, stay tuned – more detailed information will follow soon.
