Our target was to rival the "best of the best", said Hans Demant, Managing Director Adam Opel GmbH. I was personally involved in the development of the Opel Insignia OPC and I very much enjoyed extensive testing on the most demanding race track of the world, the Nürburgring Nordschleife. Connoisseurs will immediately spot the Brembo calipers and the perforated 355 mm disc on the front axle. Taking the higher performances of the OPC into consideration, significant development efforts were put into further improving the brake system.
The four wheel drive management unit has been recalibrated to adapt torque distribution to the sporty philosophy of the OPC. For the first time also in the OPC portfolio, the Adaptive 4x4 system and its electronic rear limited slip differential (eLSD) are standard. OPC drivers can choose between three different sport modes: the standard mode as the high comfort setting, a special Sport mode and the OPC mode, for optimal performance. While on the Insignia the system offers the choice between a standard adaptive setting, a more comfortable mode and a sport mode, the OPC is definitely addressing those enjoying a sportier ride. The Opel Insignia OPC also comes with the adaptive FlexRide suspension which not only adapts to driving situation and driving style but also to the driver's preferences.
