281 PS und 345 Nm: Elektrischer Opel Corsa GSE kostet ab 39.900 Euro

Opel's latest offering in its Corsa range, the GSE model, is set to hit the market from October onwards with a starting price of 39,900 Euros. This electric-powered Corsa delivers an impressive 281 PS and 345 Nm of torque, marking the first time the small car has been powered by an electric motor in the front. The Corsa GSE boasts new 18-inch wheels, specialized sport tires, and a redesigned suspension, brakes, and steering system to enhance its handling and road grip.

Additionally, Opel has given the Corsa GSE a more aggressive design, featuring wider wheel arches, yellow seat belts, and patterned seat covers. The car is also equipped with a sporty virtual sound system and digital add-on instruments to further emphasize its performance capabilities. However, the Corsa GSE's standout feature is its lightning-fast performance, which can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.5 seconds, a significant improvement from the Corsa E's 8.1 seconds.

Furthermore, the electric Corsa can travel up to 374 kilometers on a single charge, with Opel projecting a minimum range of 374 kilometers.
