This is what I would like to do with my Corsa if only it had the capability. See the Opel Corsa OPC Nurburgring Edition blast around the track in this video. The little hatch looks like quite an explosive model as it gets around. Only 500 units will be built of the car, based on the standard OPC but with some performance upgrades.

The 1.6-litre turbo engine is now up to 210 hp, and we get extra torque at 250 Nm. Overboost phase provides another 30 Nm. Bilstein components have been used, along with Brembo brakes and 18-inch wheels. A new front spoiler and integrated exhaust and rear diffusor complete the package.

The Opel Corsa OPC Nurburgring Edition model will have a production run of 500 units and has a few updates on the standard OPC to make it even sportier. The 1.6-litre engine is up from 192 to 210 hp while torque goes from 230 to 250 Nm. An overboost function takes that figure to 280 Nm. The car has been lowered and stiffer suspension has been fitted with Bilstein components, along with Brembo brakes and 18-inch wheels.

The Corsa Nurburgring Edition gets new badges on the doors and a larger front spoiler. Twin exhaust and new rear diffusor also distinguish the model.
