Opel has released the first official photos of the new Astra OPC. The explosive small and medium of 280 of horses stands out and really captivates with its dynamism.

After the original version that Opel showed us some time ago, the Astra OPC has now been officially presented, aiming to dominate the small and medium GTI sub-segment. As it seems, Opel designers have once again done an excellent job, presenting a highly dynamic design set with a very dynamic profile which, however, does not deviate from the prescribed and accepted frameworks.

But apart from the design, the new Astra OPC also has a lot of technology, the main purpose of which is to enhance its sporty character. We are referring to the front suspension (High Performance Strut) which was designed exclusively for the OPC version but also on the electrically controlled FlexRide technology chassis. This allows the driver to choose, with the push of a button, Sport and OPC settings depending on the pace it wants to move. also, on the front axle of the new "hot" Opel model we also find a locking differential which ensures that both wheels have the maximum possible traction even in difficult road conditions. Still, interesting is the fact that the braking system of the Astra OPC has been developed by the well-known company Brembo and is clearly more strengthened than that in the simple versions of the small and medium Opel.

Engine 280 of horses – Fire and laurel….

The top and sportiest version in the range of the new Opel Astra features a 2-litre direct injection turbo engine with power 280 horsepower and torque that touches the 400 Nm. With this given, the top speed of the car reaches the 250 km / h. Soon we will know more detailed technical data about the new OPC (B.C. accelerations), which is the fastest Astra we've ever seen. We remind you that the OPC will compete with commercially important models such as the VW Golf GTI.
