Opel/Vauxhall Unveil Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo, an 800‑hp EV Headed to GT7 This Autumn

The radical EV concept signals the next step for the revived GSE performance badge.

Overview

  • The officially revealed concept will be shown at IAA Mobility in Munich from September 8–14 and will be driveable in Gran Turismo 7 later this year.
  • Company figures quote 588 kW (800 hp), 800 Nm, 0–100 km/h in 2.0 seconds and a 320 km/h top speed for the dual‑motor, all‑wheel‑drive setup.
  • An overboost adds 59 kW (about 80 hp) for up to four seconds and fully recharges in 80 seconds.
  • Despite an 82 kWh battery, the claimed weight is 1,170 kg, enabled by lightweight construction and flax‑derived materials in place of carbon‑look parts.
  • Active aero features include an extendable rear diffuser and spoiler, with Bilstein dampers, a stripped cabin, a head‑up display and illuminated fabrics; it remains a Vision Gran Turismo concept with no production confirmation, though designers say the targets are theoretically realistic.
