Opel Astra H OPC Nürburgring Edition by Wrap Works

Saturday, May 10, 2014

The Opel Astra H OPC Nürburgring Edition has been modified by Wrap Works. Only 835 units of the model were built by Opel and the one in these photos is number 56. Power comes from the same 2.0-liter turbocharged engine producing 240 HP (177 kW). Wrap Works used titan-metallic and high-gloss foils (1,250 EUR), while the new soundtrack is provided by Remus with their centrally-mounted tailpipe.
Other modifications include a lowered suspension with Eibach springs, Pipercross air filter, Courtenay PU motor bearing, adjustable Whiteline-rear axle-stabilizer and ATE brake calipers. The car sits on 18-inch Nitro wheels by Motec wrapped around in Hankook Ventus V12 tires measuring 225/40 ZR18.

Opel Mokka by Irmscher

Wednesday, October 31, 2012

The Mokka is a fresh new name in Opel’s lineup and already it has received some attention from a tuner. German aftermarket specialist Irmscher has developed a customization program for the sub-compact SUV as Opel likes to call it.
At the front we notice the typical Irmscher honeycomb grille with a stainless steel cover, while the front end has also received some mild changes. There’s also a new roof spoiler and a different exhaust system located at the back. Inside the cabin, leather can be used for covering the multifunction steering wheel and the seats, while Irmscher has also designed different floor mats.
The Opel Mokka can be fitted with a lowering module that brings it closer to the road by 30mm and can ride on a new set of 20-inch Evo-Star or Turbo-Star alloy wheels. Irmscher is working on a power boost for the 1.4-liter turbo engine which in its standard configuration pumps out 125 hp (93 kW) and a peak torque of 147 lb-ft (200 Nm).

Opel Astra GTC by Irmscher

Monday, September 19, 2011


German tuner Irmscher has announced a tuning kit for the Opel Astra GTC.

First up is the engine tuning, whereby Irmscher dials output up on the 1.6 liter turbocharged unit to 220 PS (162 kW / 217 bhp) and 274 Nm (202 lb-ft) of torque from the series 180 PS (132 kW / 177 bhp).

Next is the body kit which sees the tuner add its own grille to the GTC, as well a full aerodynamic kit including front spoiler with lip, roof spoiler and a rear diffuser housing the elliptical quad exhaust (fitted by Irmscher).

For the ride is a 30 mm suspension lowering and 21-inch wheels wrapped in 245-sized tires.

The inside gets a finish in fine leather and aluminum pedals.


Opel Corsa OPC by Dbilas Dynamic

Saturday, February 26, 2011


German tuner Dbilas Dynamic has a tuning kit for the Opel Corsa OPC that adds more than few extra ponies to the hot little hatch.

The Opel Corsa OPC comes standard with 192 PS on its 1.6 liter turbo engine which Dbilas Dynamic offers to dial upward by more than 50 percent. After the tuning job is complete, the Opel OPC will have 320 PS (235 kW) and 400 Nm of torque at its disposal.

The Rödermark-based tuner achieves that figure with a very comprehensive engine overhaul which includes fitting the tuner's own steel connecting rods, forged pistons and turbocharger as well as adding a sport exhaust system. The tuning also involves ECU-mapping, new sport air filter and new air induction system.

320 PS on the 1,100 kg Corsa OPC makes for a pretty zippy 0 to 100 km/h sprint time of 5.1 seconds and provides the car with a weight to power ratio of 3.44 kg per PS. Top speed is a German autobahn-appropriate 264 km/h (164 mph).

The Corsa OPC also gets an Eibach suspension kit that lowers the car by 20 mm. Als

o helping to improve traction are 19-inch rims wrapped in 215/35ZR19 85Y Hankook tires.
