When announcing a new car that has sporty aspirations, the manufacturer usually gives some indication of performance potential. Not so with the Corsa Gsi.

Strangely, Vauxhall / Opel hasn’t mentioned an engine at all (but apparently the GSi will have the “efficiency of the regular model”). Seemingly the focus for now is the chassis, because it adopts the set-up currently used on the Corsa VXR and OPC twins.

The GSi is going to be offered in three-door guise only. A honeycomb front grille, 18” alloy wheels, sill extensions and a prominent rear spoiler help to create a suitably purposeful look. The theme continues inside, where features include Recaro front seats, leather upholstery and aluminium pedals.

Sales are due to begin later this year.
