Even visually carries the Opel Corsa OPC Nurburgring Edition to show his power. Even at first glance you see that you have a very special Corsa ahead. On the B-pillar prominently emblazoned the "Nurburgring Edition" logo, which indicates the limited edition.

Inside, one immediately catch the eye RECORA sport seats that are not only very comfortable, but also provide perfect lateral support. An OPC logo on the gear knob and steering wheel, and the "Nurburgring Edition" lettering on the door sills as well as information on the sporty top model of the Corsa range.

Otherwise, presenting the usual interior tidy and businesslike, as with all other Corsa models. The new Touch & Connect navigation system has a very nice presentation, the small buttons for the operation, as well as the positioning fallen far down in the center console, but less.
The available space in the front row is excellent for a small athlete who has access to the rear seats makes it suitable but somewhat tedious and narrow. If you arrived back once, but it fits quite well.

The trunk is down to 285 liters are quite large and can be enlarged by folding down the rear seats. Many shelves in the interior provide additional space for small items and drinks.

Who is a racing bread as the Corsa OPC Nurburgring Edition smiles, but most of the places less emphasis on space and equipment, but the engine performance is the focus of attention, and even here, the small cars from Opel to offer.

The 1.6-liter turbocharged Ecotec engine with an output of 210 hp (155 kW) and maximum torque of 250 Nm, which is available 2250-5850 rev / min.

It is surprising that the 6-speed manual transmission is very short and you already translated at 60 km / h in 6th Traveling speed can be. With a touch on the accelerator then stands still ready enough power.

To exploit the full power, it is recommended that, of course, to select a lower gear, which, thanks to the crisp circuit also makes it really fun. If you want to sprint, with the fastest ever Corsa in 6.8 seconds from 0 to 100 km / h and up to 230 km / h road. Turning from the aisles, you will literally pressed into the most comfortable sports seats, and the sonorous sound of the small turbo engine accompanies the power delivery even acoustically.
The Corsa OPC Nurburgring Edition stuck on the tarmac and it literally provides a high level of driving dynamics. With its compact dimensions (the Corsa is just 399.9 inches long) can move the Corsa extremely maneuverable, which makes for even more driving fun.

The chassis offers this very high reserves, and you have to do already extremely awkward for the quick Opel to bring calm. Out only at full acceleration out of corners, some caution is because the force is with the wheels turned hard to put on the road and you have a good grip on the steering wheel has to keep you on track.

Although the Corsa OPC naturally persuaded to use the force as often as possible, you can take the little Opel also be traveling quite slowly, and come into the city just as easily and without hassle, from how to cross-country trips.

At highway speeds, it is obviously in the sporting Corsa then a little louder. Quite naturally, the suspension of sportsmanship is trimmed, the bumps and potholes of course also happy to report on passengers - people with disc problems, the OPC Nurburgring Edition is therefore not necessarily to heart. But this will probably make the Mighty Midget from Rüsselsheim without it a wide berth, die-hard sports fans but lots of joy in the little Opel have.

With an average consumption of 8.2 liters, we have been surprisingly economical way, we would have expected more, since we obtained the power and definitely took advantage of the Sprint joy. According to the work should be content with the Opel Corsa OPC Nurburgring Edition 7.6 liters, which would be sensitive gas pedal quite feasible.
