Remember the glory days of racy-looking, muscular car outfits affordable for young drivers? Opel hasn’t forgotten them and spices up the new Corsa with an exclusive Color Race edition that features a winning checkered motif, along with a traditional, vibrant motor sport Sunny Melon Yellow color as well as with Casablanca White and Magma Red.

 

To keep its performance as exhilarating as its exterior, the Corsa Color Race boast significant chassis and steering improvements that start in the full Corsa range with the Model Year 10.5 and that improve comfort, handling and steering and keep the Corsa fun to drive.

 

The Corsa Color Race can be powered by a range of new engines that are at the same time powerful and fuel efficient like the new 1.4 gasoline engine with 87 hp or 100 hp. The powerful 130 hp 1.7 CDTI combines 300 Nm torque with a fuel consumption of 4.5 liter/100 km. All in all, the re-worked powertrains, the latest example of Opel’s pledge to focus on environmentally compatible solutions offer higher torque while boasting up to 13 percent lower fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

 

The Color Race line fits the 3-door models particularly well, with its sporty contour and exciting, coupeish design. It comes with a standard black hood as well as side and tailgate appliques with a checkered flag motif, black painted roof and black 17-inch alloy wheels. These racing accents coupled with the yellow, white, or red exterior lacquer turn every model into a winning combination. Especially in yellow, this bi-color look is reminiscent of such legendary sporty Opel models as the Rallye Kadett B Sprint from the early 70s.
