Not since the days of the 2002 Astra OPC X-treme Concept has Opel released an Astra as powerful as the Astra OPC EXTREME that it’s planning to debut at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show. But here it is, 12 years later and really, not a moment sooner.
Details are still murky on how the Astra OPC EXTREME is going to look and perform, but we do know that it will be based on the Astra OPC Cup racer. Moreover, the one photo depicting the sports hatchback does show a car that lives through the spirit of its predecessor in more ways than one.
For one, the Astra OPC EXTREME is tipped to be lighter than the standard Astra OPC and, while the latter boasts 280 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque output, the Astra OPC EXTREME is expected to be significantly more powerful than that. Maybe somewhere in the neighborhood of 360 ponies and 380 pound-feet of torque.
In addition to the expected bump in output, the Astra OPC EXTREME also features what looks like an aggressive body kit befitting its racer-boy looks. Some racing graphics add touches of sportiness, and that enormous rear wing is primed to add some serious downforce. .
Complete details of the Astra OPC EXTREME are expected to be unveiled at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show.
