Test Drive in Russia: Opel Corsa OPC

While the techniques from Torgmash are fighting with a turbo monster Kalina, which that and looked apart on the part of Moscow streets cut off this weekend absolutely reliable Opel Corsa OPC
For a pretty-child appearance, a real power giant is hidden. The craftsmen from Opel Performance CAR managed to remove with 1.6 liters of the whole 192 horsepower! The rotation of the ignition and the engine announces you by a peaceful ration. An excellent motor quickly disperses lightweight corsu on any gear. It is so elastic that it is freely spinning almost up to 6.500 revolutions. Amazes and medium torque in 230 nm, but with a strong press on the gas pedal, the maximum moment reaches 266 nm!

How? What kind of tuning parts were used to build this motor Opel does not tell. Itself remains to guess what pistons and the rest is hidden in the CORSA OPC engine. Of course, it was not a strengthening of CSM. All that is known to the world Turbokadow, developed by the Opolevsky Tuning Center. When switching speeds of KP, its pleasant misstitch is heard. Controls the mood of the forced motor Clear 6-speed transmission. Switching speeds does not cause difficulties, the main thing is not to penetrate and on time to include the following speed. Hold a knob KP is comfortable.
As soon as you sit in the salon of this cort, you immediately begin to praise the colorful SPARCO seats. They were given adjustment of the back and height. Even with an increase in 189 cm, I found an optimal option for myself to recreate comfortably on these leather chairs.

To make the eye be happy, you can move the side mirrors, they are sufficient for a normal view of the situation on the road. True, when traveling to the main road, looking around, it is necessary to strain the rear wide racks of the roof. Rear passengers will have to be disadvantaged, as designers took into account the comfort of the front passengers. Rearly your baggage, but not to people. Everything is so clear: sports car only for two. If you expect to carry a few people with you, it is better to pay attention to the charged Vectra OPC.

Many complaints of the media causes the quality of the panel finishing. In this point agreed. Some details are fitted inactively, such as a glove cover. But more

in total, the smell of freshly baked plastics seemed to weave with the help of open windows. Save the installation of the gel deodorant, and even better skin casing skin. After all, in winter, for example, with open windows do not ride. By the way, absolutely silent work of windows motor windows is worthy of the highest rating.

Already after a 2-minute trip to Corsa OPC, you understand what to pay considerable money. You are striking perfectly tuned steering knob with a suspension. I do not know why colleagues from Autoward and driving did not like the taxi. All movements are absolutely controlled. Keep sharply from a row to a row, quickly enter the rotations of the Moscow Ring Road. I do not know who they burn the fingers of the tubercles on the steering wheel, we remind such critics,

that OPC made such a steering wheel as safe as possible in emergency situations. When, for example, you need to dramatically to the side of you will save exactly such a ribbed steering wheel, not smooth.

Suspension of this corty: Breaks fly with minimal roll. It feels like you are in a ring car. Let's say thanks to the rear bridge, excellent shock absorbers and low springs. Helps and low-profile (215) Rubber R17. By the way, if you wish, a 18-inch rollers will be free on this corse, which will create even more visual effect. White OZ alloy wheels would look very harmonious with a black machine body and blue Brembo calipers.
Moving around the Moscow streets at Opel Corsa OPC, meet many positive nods.

It would be more, because on the back door there is a label OPC fear symbol for driers of vegetable cars. To distinguish Corsa OPC from the landed version of the Corsa by harmonious body kit, a triangular exhaust pipe, toned rear lanterns and not only. In the side turn signals built-in ventilation grids.

A person, ready to spend 759.000 rubles for this car, expects a huge number of advantages than minuses. Small lack of salon is compensated by the real combat nature of the car. And the most pleasant pleasure from the ride is the average board. If during the transmission to each transmission speed to unwind the engine to 3.000 revolutions of gasoline consumption will be about 8 liters per 100 km. If

often gas, be prepared for the flow rate of 17 liters.
Given all the listed qualities, yes adding small Corsa OPC sizes, this car perfectly fit into the city landscape.

Salon panel smell
