The Opel Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo represents the 2025 highlight in Opel’s long concept car history. The brand with the Blitz was the first European manufacturer to present a concept car in 1965 – the Experimental GT. Today, 60 years later, Opel is once again breaking ground by presenting a ‘phygital’ concept – a physical show car that can be played also in Gran Turismo 7.
The Opel Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo draws on Opel’s rich motorsport and performance heritage and combines this with the iconic Corsa nameplate while simultaneously giving an outlook on future generations of sporty GSE models with the Blitz. In short, it represents the epitome of Opel’s sporty GSE sub-brand and packages everything in an all-electric high-performance small car.
In order to excite the gaming community, the Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo pairs outstanding efficiency with thrilling driving dynamics. It comes with two 350 kW (469.4 BHP) electric motors, one on each axle, and boasts a combined output of 588 kW (788 BHP) along with 800 Nm (81.6 kgfm) of torque. Furthermore, the permanent all-wheel drive enhances grip, handling, and overall vehicle stability. In combination with the single-speed transmission, the Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo accelerates from 0 to 62.1 mph in just 2.0 seconds and can reach a top speed of 198.8 mph.
The stunning performance is matched by a muscular and powerful appearance. The body sculpture is defined by sharp and precise feature lines combined with technical and machined details. Overall, the Opel Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo displays an even more distinct interpretation of Opel’s bold and pure design philosophy including the slim execution of the next generation Opel Vizor. The illuminated Opel Blitz sits proudly at the centre of the signature Opel Compass, the guiding element of the design which also acts as the car’s backbone. It is flanked by signature lighting bars on the horizontal axis. The vertical axis of the Compass extends as the centre from the front bumper into the aero-optimised bonnet. This principle continues at the rear where the wide rear compass taillamp is combined with the rear window to give the rear end a bold look.
To ensure that the Opel Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo remains firmly planted on the road, it features numerous clever and optimised aero solutions. Aero curtains in front of the confident front and rear fenders combined with black aero blade fender flares ensure smoother airflow thus enhancing the vehicle’s handling at high speeds. In addition, the aero wheels increase efficiency by reducing air turbulence in the wheelhouses while the active aero diffusor and active aero spoiler help increase or decrease downforce depending on the driving situation.
Inside the cockpit, drivers can look forward to a detoxed racing experience which also follows the signature Opel Compass. The sleek steering wheel provides an unobstructed view of the most important information which is projected on the head-up display. The suspended, lightweight driver’s seat with six-point seatbelts fully integrates the driver in the driving experience and together with the roll-cage ensures highest safety standards. Elsewhere, onboard sensors alert the driver to the presence of other vehicles. For example, when a vehicle enters the blind spot, a warning appears via electrochromic fabrics that cover the dashboard and door inserts.
