The much desired Opel Astra OPC will finally see the light of day on March 8th, at the Swiss event. To alleviate our wait, new images are released…
My colleague and great friend, Nuno Tiago, had already done an excellent preview of the most powerful model in the Astra range, leaving little to say. But it is important to remember that this Astra OPC is based on the Astra GTC coupe and has a powerful 2 liter direct injection turbo engine delivering 280 hp and 400 Nm of maximum torque. Front-wheel drive (or optionally all-wheel drive) the Opel Pretty Boy is equipped with electronic stability control, traction control, hill start assistance and Hill Descent Control.
The Focus ST, the Golf GTi/R and the Megane RS are currently getting ready to welcome their newest rival! Will the Astra OPC live up to it?
