Opel Insignia - OPC

OPC

In early 2009, Opel revealed the Insignia OPC, a high-performance variant of the Insignia. Like the preceding Vectra OPC, it is powered by a 2.8 litre turbocharged V6. The updated engine makes 239 kilowatts (325 PS; 321 hp) and 435 newton metres (321 lb·ft). Of this 435, 400 newton metres (300 lb·ft) is available from 2,000 rpm. It will be paired with a six-speed manual transmission / six-speed automatic transmission and Saab's (Haldex) active all-wheel drive system. The Insignia OPC has a modified McPherson strut front suspension called HiPerStrut which reduces torque steer. Also standard is an electronic limited slip differential for the rear wheels and Opel's FlexRide adaptive suspension, which has three settings the driver may choose (OPC, Sport and Normal). An OPC version of the Insignia Sports Tourer wagon has also been unveiled and is currently on sale.

In April 2011, Opel launched the Insignia OPC Unlimited, with no speed limiter.
