Continuing the countdown for the electric Astra, Opel gave the green light to reuse the performance badge with electric power in the new era.
Opel, which gave an important message about the brand identity of the new era after its transformation on Mokka, succeeded in strengthening this identity in Astra, which has been on the agenda of Europe for a while. The only German brand of the group, which offers solutions to users with electric versions in the new period, will not miss the chance to reach more user groups thanks to planning. While the countdown continues for the electric Astra version, which is expected to start sales in 2023, important statements came from the UK operation of the brand. After this announcement, which we saw that a performance-oriented version was also being prepared with Astra-e, expectations began to focus on OPC.

Regarding the process; ” We are faced with many performance-oriented questions within the brand. Yes, we can clearly state that we are working on this and concrete results are not far off. We will present products in this direction” Adams, who gave his statements, did not prefer to share anything clear on a numerical basis for now.

After these statements of the successful name, expectations for the OPC (Opel Performance Center), which we have not seen for a long time, have intensified like everyone else. This badge, which we have seen in the Astra and Insignia models in the past, and which brings with it very serious performance limits, can respond to the dynamics in this field in the new period. Recently, Opel showed its desire on the performance side by bringing the GSi badge back to the asphalt with the Insignia.
