The essence of Opel Insignia OPC is its 2.8 V6 Turbo. Derived from the powerful gasoline engine already available on-line symbol-a-, this version reaches the output of 239 kW/325 hp. The increase in power obtained by a special engine development and by reworking the exhaust, significantly reducing the pressure on. And because the sound is very important in the appreciation of an engine, the acoustic specialists worked on the exhaust V6 by adopting specific center and rear muffler.
Opel Insignia OPC is available with a six-speed manual transmission. High torque of 400 Nm ensures abundant charm even at low revs. With the performance of the engine, Opel Insignia OPC reaches a top speed of 250 km / h (restricted) and sprints from 0 to 100 km / h in six seconds.
High-performance chassis symbol has been much smoother for the OPC variant which ride height has been reduced by 10 mm compared with the symbol (AWD Sport version). The newly developed mechatronic chassis also receives a new front axle. Front suspension architecture Opel Insignia OPC maintains McPherson strut, which is called, however, engineers at the Opel Performance Center came up with evolution called HiPerStrut (for High Performance Strut). The benefit is improved steering feel, reduced steering disturbances due to high torque and improved flavor in the handling for the driver.
Opel Insignia OPC also comes with an adaptive FlexRide suspension which not only suit the driving situation and driving style but also the drivers preferences. While the symbol of this system offers a choice between a standard adaptive setting, more comfort and sport mode, the OPC definitely enjoy the ride sporty answer. OPC drivers can choose between three different sport modes: standard mode as the high comfort setting, a special Sport mode and the OPC mode, for optimal performance.
For the first time also in the OPC portfolio, the Adaptive 4x4 system and an electronic rear differential, limited slip (ELSD) is standard. Four-wheel drive management unit has been recalibrated to adapt torque distribution to the sporty philosophy of the OPC. Take the superior performance of the OPC into consideration, significant development efforts have further increased the brake system. Connoisseur will immediately spot Brembo calipers and 355 mm perforated discs on the front axle.
"I was personally involved in the development of the Opel Insignia OPC and I really enjoyed extensive testing on the most demanding track in the world, the Nürburgring Nordschleife. Our goal is to rival the" best of the best, "says Hans Demant, Managing Director Adam Opel GmbH.
Look different is a clear statement on dynamic ambitions
High-end body style dressed in an elegant sports concept car inspired by the GTC show in 2007, but remained faithful to the design philosophy of sculptural symbol s combines German precision.
Compared to less powerful versions of this symbol, the OPC dazzling show with two large vertical intakes and a specific rear bumper with dual integrated exhausts. The 19-inch wheels (tires: 245/40) are standard and give the car a decent position. The new 20-inch lightweight forged wheels (with 255/35 tires) are optional.
Dynamic sportiness exterior is also reflected in the cockpit. When I open the door, the OPC immediately impressive, from unique Recaro seats to a flat-bottomed steering wheel and sport-specific gear knob. OPC also presents distinctive instrument graphics.
"The Opel Insignia OPC marks the beginning of a new era for our OPC portfolio, always courageous, but also more mature and refined, and more ambitious than ever, the Insignia OPC represents the experience: dynamic and refined." Explains Alain Visser, GM Europe Vice President Opel.
