Official: Opel Insignia OPC technology revealed

The new Insignia VXR from Vauxhall (a.k.a. Opel Insignia OPC), which comes with a total of 325hp, a complex 4-wheel drive chassis and a sprint rate from 0-60mph in under six seconds, is ready to be introduced to the mid-size performance saloon market when it becomes available for sale early this summer.


The new adaptive 4-wheel drive system with an electronic limited slip differential, which provides the Insignia OPC...sorry, the VXR, with plenty of grip and a smooth transfer of power from the drivetrain to the bespoke chassis to the road. The chassis was developed with testing at the Nurburgring track in Germany and lets the VXR sit 10 millimeters lower than the SRi Insignia. The HiPerStrut front suspension keeps torque-steer down and pushes the load back to maintain cornering grip in both wet and dry conditions.


At the core of the Insignia VXR is the advanced 2.8-liter V6 Turbo ECOTEC powerplant from Vauxhall, with a crank made from micro-alloy forged steel, typical 60-degree cylinder angle and die-cast alloy oil sump, features that exist in many racing powerplants. The engine can generate 325PS (up by 65PS compared to the Elite V6) utilizing a single, twin-scroll turbocharger and adaptable valve control for speeding throttle reaction, and has a sprint rate of 0-60mph in just 5.8 seconds, and a maximum electronically limited speed of 155mph. The Insignia VXR’s design was inspired by the Vauxhall/Opel GTC with many of it styling cues familiar to those who have seen the groundbreaking concept at the Geneva in 2007.


The Insignia VXR will come as a 4-door sedan, 5-door hatch or Sports Tourer model.

Pricing details are not yet available.

So, let the British feel good that the Vauxhall marque is still around. Sure, go ahead.

Spy Photos: Opel Insignia OPC in Blue - Clearest

We're hopeful for an unveiling of the new Opel Insignia OPC in the near future.


Opel is alleged to be including Brembo brakes so the driver can handle all the additional muscle. The supposedly four-wheel drive car has circled the Nürburgring in just over eight minutes.


The Opel Performace Centre (OPC) vehicle will have some unique badging to identify the sporting heritage. Black tape is conveniently used to cover up the identifying characteristics in these pics. The last performance car from the outfit was the 2.8-liter V6 turbo Opel Vectra with 255 hp. Rumor has it the OPC could get power in the low 300 horsepower range.


Check this out: more spy pics of the Opel Insignia OPC. The car has been spotted, mostly uncovered, on several other occasions. However, instead of being captured in black or white, the vehicle was captured in blue.

Opel released Ampera Geneva show

Opel Ampera features GM's Voltec plug-in hybrid system with a 60 km range running solely on the batteries


Ampera Opel will be the European version of the Chevrolet volts. GM and Opel but survived long enough to perform the conversion and any one of a model to the market.

There is a joke Ampera image because this will be the first time on March 3 (two Press Days) at the Geneva Motor Show. (Exhibition open to the public March 5.)

The Ampera are five, four-seat hatch from GM's plug-in hybrid Voltec power system is said to have run 60 kilometers within the scope of the only lithium-ion battery. Internal combustion engine as a generator to recharge the battery GM / Opel claims that will enable the car to extend an impressive range of 500 kilometers. The battery can be re-Ampera charge any 230-volt power outlet.

Designed Ampera the production version will most likely close to what we see images, has been released, the current spy voted a few weeks ago. It is worth noting that the obvious design cues from the concept of Flexstream, as well as the Opel badge one of the end of last year the European Automotive Award shows Ampera goals are worthy of the name characteristic Opel style makes it far less likely to be regarded as just a re-registration Chevrolet volts.

Geneva preview: Opel Ampera Spied Completely Uncovered

The Ampera makes its official debut at GM's Geneva press conference on March 3.

The Ampera is scheduled to go on sale in 2011, and shares GM's "Voltec" plug-in hybrid system that's set to be introduced in the Chevrolet Volt. Propulsion is provided by a full-time electric motor, with a small gasoline engine/generator aboard to charge the lithium-ion batteries when needed. GM says that the Voltec system will propel the Volt and Ampera up to forty miles (65 km) on a single charge. The engine/generator increases the range to about 500 miles (800 km). Recharging is expected to take 2-3 hours from a standard 230-volt European outlet.


How's that for fast? Hot on the heels of the first computer renderings of the Opel Ampera, we've got actual spy photos of the car, captured during a closed video shoot just prior to its debut in Geneva next month.



Design sketches of the Ampera, which is the European-market version of the Chevrolet Volt plug-in hybrid, leaked to the web just yesterday. The Ampera prototype caught in photos looks production-ready and it's possible this white car is in the process of being shot for the press kit. The styling, a blending of the Insignia sedan and Flextreme concept car, is clearly similar to that of the computer-rendered drawing, though the actual car shows a deeper chin spoiler and a taller body than the design sketch. While the car in the sketches looks like a four-door sedan, the production Ampera will be a five-door.
