Opel’s fully electric Corsa GSE hot‑hatch, the most powerful Corsa to date at 207 kW (281 hp) and 345 Nm, is slated for a market launch before the end of 2026. WL‑TP testing shows an energy consumption of 18.5 kWh per 100 km and zero CO₂ emissions. Technical highlights include a Torsen multi‑disc locking differential, sport‑tuned suspension, four‑piston Alcon brakes, 18‑inch wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres, and a 54 kWh gross (51 kWh usable) battery with V2L charging. Following its official presentation in May 2026, the model held its Polish premiere at the Energylandia amusement park in early August. The launch event used the theme ‘Corsa. Made for Fun’, drawing parallels between the park’s rollercoasters and the vehicle’s performance.
