The Opel Corsa OPC gets a few slight updates which should improve some aspects of the car without modifying its essential character - the 1.6 turbo with 192 hp and 265 Nm (in overboost). Firstly, making it more environmental, the Corsa OPC gets a slight reduction in both fuel consumption and CO2 emissions: down 7.6 percent to 7.3 litres per 100 km for consumption, and 9.5 percent to 172 g/km of emissions.

The performance specs should remain the same despite the Euro 5 homologation these figures now achieve. The Corsa OPC will keep its six-speed manual gearbox and with its engine it has a top speed of 225 km/hr, reaching 100 km/hr in 7.2 seconds. The driving style has also apparently achieved an improvement, giving the OPC greater driving feel through changes to the chassis and steering system.

This Opel Corsa OPC in a tuned version was spotted in tests at the Nurburgring where the prototype was being driven by Volker Strycek. It has some changes compared to the OPC currently available, with larger Brembo brakes, new front spoiler, dual exhaust and new extractor. The yellow colour with black roof is a new look too, all of which could indicate a performance version of the Corsa OPC, with a 1.6-litre turbo engine and 192 hp.
