Auto Zone Video - The 1.6-liter (141 kW/192 hp) turbo engine at the heart of the Opel Corsa OPC (2010) catapults it from zero to 100 km/h in just 7.2 seconds, while generating a tidal wave of torque that delivers even more impressive performance. It is super-efficient, boasting a class-leading specific power rating of 120 hp per liter.Maximum torque of 230 Nm is generated from 1,980 rpm all the way to 5,850 rpm, and it is temporarily raised even higher, to 266 Nm, by an automatic overboost function. Such pulling power delivers effortless performance. The transition from 80 to 120 km/h in fifth gear, for example, takes just 6.7 seconds. Top speed is 225 km/h and a six-speed gearbox comes as standard. The Opel Corsa OPC has been reworked to offer greater frugality. Combined cycle fuel consumption is cut by 7.6 percent to 7.3 l/100 km. Carbon dioxide emissions, from 190 to 172 g/km, are reduced by 9.5 percent. The gains have been achieved by optimizing the engine calibration to meet Euro 5 emissions standards. To help drivers optimize fuel economy even while driving a powerful car, a 'shift up' indicator light has been added to the main instrument display.[endtext]
