Opel Insignia OPC Sports Tourer
The Opel Insignia OPC Sports Tourer is set to join dealerships in late 2009 after a successful 10,000 kilometer trip around the Nordschleife of the Nürburgring - a track dubbed the Green Hell by racecar driver Jackie Stewart. Despite the grueling race the Insignia OPC sedan finished with no issue, earning commendations from Opel Managing Director Hans Demant.
The Sports Tourer is equipped with a 325 hp V6 Turbo engine and features a reworked mechatronic chassis with FlexRide, an Adaptive 4x4 transmission, and an electronic rear limited slip differential (eLSD). This powerhouse of car is also outfitted with Brembo brakes, creating an optimal balance between its speed and handling. Despite its muscle-driven engine, the Opel Insignia OPC Sports Tourer also offers 1530 liters of storage capacity - a welcome trait of any station wagon.
Automotive technology at its best
Opel has made some considerable upgrades since the 260 hp version of the 2.8 V6 Turbo in the Insignia Sport and Cosmo. The improvements have come from reworking the exhaust and reducing the counterpressure, as well as the addition of a six-speed manual transmission for greater control. Thanks to these changes, the Sports Tourer can reach up to 250 km/h (restricted) and race from zero to 100 in 6.3 seconds.
