Look at the first spy shots of the new Opel Corsa OPC Nürburgring Edition special.

The new Opel Corsa OPC, based on the standard OPC, should basically be the version of the Astra-based 2008 Nürburgring Edition model. That means it’ll most likely come with the standard Corsa OPC’s 192-horsepower (141 kW) / 170 lb-ft (230 Nm) turbocharged 1.6 liter mill and extra add-ons.

Other baubles to expect are upgraded Brembo brakes, Recaro leather seating, carbon-look decor for the interior, unique lightweight wheels, and maybe even a tuned suspension.

The front appears to get a new lip spoiler and the rear valence some big exhaust tips pushed to the sides.

The latest 4×4 four-wheel-drive Corsa was caught on way to dealership. The Corsa 4×4 a Opel’s supermini SUV which is set to follow in the wheeltracks of the Antara when it goes on sale early in 2010.

These are expected to give greater off-road ability without ruining the standard car’s nimble, secure manners on the tarmac. The production version of the vehicle will also get tough looks, including rugged bumpers and body armour. There will also be under-body protection, along with a unique alloy wheel design.

The newcomer will sit at the top of the firm’s supermini range, next to the replacement Meriva, which was unveiled as a concept at the Geneva Motor Show in March. Despite the new Corsa’s SUV tag, bosses are keen to ensure that it is viewed as a frugal, low-emission car, rather than a gas-guzzling 4×4. As a result, it will bring together the firm’s most efficient powertrains, including a new diesel and a range of low-capacity, high-economy petrol turbos. In addition, the firm’s excellent 1.3 and 1.7-litre CDTI oil-burners will be tuned for low-down torque and refinement.

GM would like to sell 120,000 units annually.
