Ngesikhathi efika kwa-Opel Corsa B, amandla ayesevele ekhuphukele ku-54 hp ku-5600 rpm , nokho i-torque yehlele ku-82Nm ku-2800rpm - konke ngaphandle kokusiza "okumangalisayo" kwe-turbo.
Ngezinombolo zalolu hlobo lobukhulu, umqondo wokuthatha i-Opel Corsa B efakwe le njini encane uyiyise ku-autobahn ukuzama ukufinyelela isivinini sayo esiphezulu ungase ubonakale uyikude. Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi yilokhu umuntu anqume ukukwenza.
