Opel Confirms Corsa GSE, an All‑Electric Hot Hatch With 281 PS

The move cements GSE as Opel’s EV performance line.

Overview

  • Opel will launch the Corsa GSE later this year as a production electric performance model with 207 kW, 345 Nm and a 0–100 km/h time of 5.5 seconds.
  • The car pairs its front‑motor setup with a 54 kWh battery (51 kWh usable) and an electronically limited top speed of 180 km/h.
  • Performance hardware includes a front limited‑slip differential, a lowered sport suspension with new dampers and stabilizers, revised steering and throttle response, and Alcon four‑piston brakes.
  • Opel says orders open this year and has not given price or WLTP range figures, while outlets estimate a starting price near €42,000.
  • The Corsa GSE becomes Opel’s second GSE production model after the Mokka as the badge shifts to EV‑only, entering a niche with few direct small‑car rivals.
