The key is to start. Turn. So far, nothing portends
provocation. Only alive blue scale instrument panel. Under the right hand grip
has become unaccustomed manual transmission - in the press have long dominated
the parks "machines", even among the cars competing for the sport.
Teasing his new ward, playing a clutch pedal. Or is he teases me?
It is difficult to make out. But enough thought - let go of
the left pedal at the same time as the movement of a clear rifle bolt handle
PPC. Right leg without too much confusion presses the accelerator pedal to the
floor, and cocky motor impulses repeat this exercise twice. Jumping the
tachometer needle to bolster the speedometer, which is already on the 3rd gear
out “100”? And there is still a lot of interesting things.

So, right off the bat and start the test bright green Corsa,
because exemplary habits machines were already known - sports series from Opel
OPC has been well studied in his time as an example Astra. Regardless of the
specific model, all series machines differ enviable handling, clear (not like
"civil" fellow) manual transmission and efficiency turbo engine,
issuing significantly more than 100 power per liter of engine displacement.
Corsa OPC current generation is far from being a novelty,
but for the time presence in the market positions of the machine is not lost -
it remains one of the hottest hatchbacks in the segment «B». Among the nearest
competitors can be noted Renault Clio RS, but his new turbo version is not
available in Russia and the former generation atmospheric professed ideology
that is not to everyone's taste. We have also turned on the test factory
modified version Corsa OPC Nurburgring Edition, made in a poisonous green and
seasoned with extra horsepower - now they have 210. And this despite the engine
size of 1.6 liters.

The increase in power of 10% allowed malyutke Corsa change
"hundreds" in just 6.8 seconds, which is comparable with the previous
generation Astra OPC. In this modified on the legendary German motorway
suspension provides impeccable grip: the car has remained stable despite the
very short base. The sports chassis used dampers Brillstein, and frisky after
intensive braking acceleration is provided by 4-piston brakes Brembo.
Sport line is clearly seen in the cabin. And it's not just
nameplates, painted in body color door pillars or prints silhouette runs on the
seat back.
Much more important than themselves seats - great sport
buckets. Lightweight and slim silhouette, they remain quite comfortable, at
least for the medium-sized driver's physique.
Although the cabin was a place and such luxuries as a
sunroof, climate control and multimedia system with navigation. It is possible
that enthusiastic car owners ever want to drastically lighten the car and get
rid of the last elements of comfort, having arranged inside the forest of metal
pipes. As a material for purely racing version of this baby is also nice.
Especially ergonomics multimedia unit suffers apparent
inferiority by modern standards - the buttons are small and closely located to
each other, and the touch screen is not very responsive to the touch. The logic
of the menu is also not ideal.

Making exterior Corsa Nurburgring Edition, of course, the
usual close OPC. The main differences - unusual green Grasshopper
(Grasshopper), as opposed to the more traditional red and blue, which are
clothed in the rest of the OPC, as well as two exhaust pipes instead of a
single triangle exhaust. Tinted rear and front headlights gives additional
aggression stylish appearance of the car.
Ridiculous to talk about the practicality of such a machine,
but the Germans could not help but think about it. Rear row of seats though
profiled, but you willing to lie down, expanding the scope of an already
acceptable trunk. Also in the wall of the luggage compartment hides and
intricate repair kit.

Of course, on the fuel efficiency of such machines can be forgotten, but it's still a B-Class, and therefore the final figure should be within reason. So it turned out - the average consumption in mixed mode and when working the gas pedal was 13 l / 100 km. The truth is the most modern European engines can be more economical, but at what cost? Their habits are too inhibited, and our Corsa much more responsive to the driver's commands.
So, on what step of evolution in the end ready to jump
Grasshopper Opel? At a price of about 930 thousand. Rubles someone can complain
about the size - small car for so little money. Other begins to look closely to
a calmer, but premium kids. Third think about a more thoughtful and comfortable
cabin. Only fans of acute and dynamic sensations close their eyes to all for
the sake of the main - a sense of speed and control that gives the Corsa OPC
Nurburgring Edition.
