Opel is breaking Detroit auto show's domination in the press line by releasing details of its new Corsa OPC. The rival to Renault Clio RS and the upcoming Peugeot 207GT gets a very aggressive body kit, Like most German sports cars, the chassis of Corsa OPC was tuned in their renowned Nurburgring ring. Modifications include retuned springs and dampers, thicker anti-roll bars up front, thicker torsion beam at the rear and 10mm reduction of ride height. Besides, the ESP has been retuned to intervene less, and can even be switched off. However, Opel did not mention any modifications to the steering or front suspension geometry, nor there is any limited slip differential. With so much torque going through the front wheels, how can it deal with torque steer? this is still a big question mark.
