The first official video commercial for the upcoming Opel Astra GTC has emerged on the internet. The 30-seconds long clip surely conveys the kind of aggressive and sporty attitude that the new model, labeled as the ‘Man’s New Baby’ during the footage, will surely account as one of its strong points.

The new Astra GTC will offer two supercharged petrol options: a 1.4-litre (in power steps of 120 and 140 hp) and 1.6-litre producing 180 hp with 230 Nm of torque between 2,200 and 5,400 rpm, with a top speed of 220 km/h. As for the diesel line-up, there will be a 1.7 CDTi (also in two power steps: 110 and 130 hp) and a more performing 2.0 CDTi delivering 165 hp and with an exceptionally strong 35 0Nm of torque from just 1,750 rpm. All engines will be mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox, although there will soon be a 6-speed automatic option for both the 1.4-liter turbocharged petrol and 2.0-litre CDTI engines.

As the above video suggests, the new model will debut on the German market the next January, the 14th.
