Through a crazy concept car designed for the video game GranTurismo, Opel unveils the first features of its future Corsa.
The communication strategy of using the game GranTurismo to showcase a concept car is so overused that we hardly recognize its impact anymore. But so be it.
On the occasion of the upcoming IAA Mobility 2025 in Munich (September 8-14), Opel will unveil an unprecedented creation: the Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo. A unique model that straddles the line between a technological demonstrator and a virtual showcase, blending the heritage of the star city car from Rüsselsheim with the sporty DNA of the GSE lineup. A notable feature: it will also be playable this fall in Gran Turismo 7 on PlayStation 4 and 5.
800 hp for a Corsa from another world
Under its familiar name, the Opel Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo hides specifications worthy of an electric supercar. Two 350 kW motors placed on each axle deliver 800 horsepower and 800 Nm of torque, all transmitted to the four wheels. The 0 to 100 km/h sprint is completed in 2.0 seconds, while the top speed reaches 320 km/h. Yes, indeed!

A reinvented Opel design
Based on the STLA Small platform, the Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo will retain the compact spirit of the future production Corsa, but with radical proportions: lowered height, widened tracks, and enhanced aerodynamic treatment.
The sculpted hood, “aero blade” fender flares, active diffuser, and movable spoiler highlight this quest for aerodynamic efficiency. At the front, the new generation Vizor integrates the illuminated Blitz logo at the center of a compass-shaped light signature. At the rear, the design remains clean, featuring an OPEL monogram in capital letters.
The pearlescent white finish contrasts with yellow and black elements, while the 21-inch front and 22-inch rear wheels rest on Bilstein suspensions.
Between heritage and projection
With this concept, Opel continues a tradition dating back sixty years, starting with the Experimental GT. But the Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo marks a symbolic milestone: it is the first model from the brand to be showcased simultaneously at a show and in a video game. In short, the Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo is not just a styling exercise: it is a manifesto that sketches out the future of Opel’s electric sports cars, both in the real world and behind a screen.
In Munich, we hope to learn a bit more about this new Corsa, whose platform will also announce the urgent replacements of its cousins, the Peugeot 208, Jeep Avenger, and others.
