Summarize

South African car fans who recall the 1990s heydays will remember the Opel GSi badge with a certain degree of fondness. Not only were the Kadett, Astra later Corsa GSis legends on the road, but they dominated on local racetracks too, so this is a badge any car fan will be happy to see return.

Opel has confirmed the local release of the new 3-door Corsa GSi and the badge of course comes with all the expected tweaks and improvements too. Corsa GSi's 110kW 220Nm turbo 1.4-litre four-pot is mated to a short-ratio six-speed gearbox to deliver impressive punch and flexibility for a claimed 8.9 second 0-100km/h sprint, while returning 6l/100km fuel consumption

Packing agile OPC sport suspension and brakes with red calipers and 18-inch light alloy wheels, Corsa GSi is further differentiated by a large honeycomb grille and larger air intakes, a sculptured bonnet, prominent rear spoiler and side sills. for a cheeky new look, while the cabin boasts leather Recaro pews and a sport steering wheel, a leather gear knob and aluminium sport pedals and is all yours at R365K at your local Opel dealer.
