Source: https://mothership.sg/2022/09/bluesg-electric-opel/ BlueSG is launching 500 electric Opel Corsa-e hatchbacks gradually from October 2022, The Straits Times reported. The cost of the new cars was estimated to be about S$80 million, or S$160,000 for each car, at prevailing COE (certificate of entitlement) prices. BlueSG will have more than 1,000 cars on road A BlueSG spokesperson told ST that "200 or so" new Opel cars are on the way. If it goes according to plan, BlueSG, an exclusively electric car-sharing firm here, will have a fleet of about 1,000 cars in total before 2022 is over.There are some 800 two-door compact BlueCars on the roads in Singapore. BlueSG had some 650 cars plying the roads in Singapore in February 2021, and ST reported 250 more cars were gradually introduced subsequently. BlueCars are made in Italy. The Opel Corsa-e is Spanish-made. It has four doors. Acquired about a year ago In October 2021, home-grown engineering group Goldbell completed its acquisition of BlueSG from French transportation giant Bollore Group. The new Opel Corsa-e cars are being introduced almost a year after the acquisition. BlueSG is a loss-making business, ST reported. But Goldbell had said it would invest S$70 million up to 2026 to turn things around. Rental rates for the new cars, with more advanced features, are expected to be higher. Top photos via BlueSG

The Opel Corsa is one of the German manufacturer’s best selling models, and now there’s an all-new sixth-generation model out, based around the same platform as the 2019 Peugeot 208. The two cars are mechanically very similar, but what they propose are two distinct visual packages - the 2020 Opel Corsa is the more sober and restrained of the two, so it’s probably pretty attractive to you if you prefer to be more low-key and not stand out as much as you would in, say, the flashier Peugeot 208. Aside from it sharing its underpinnings with other PSA products, the new Corsa also being offered in all-electric form for the first time. That model is called the Corsa-e and is motivated by a powertrain that is also shared with the new e-208). However, its platform sharing doesn’t affect the way it looks, and the 2020 Corsa looks like a current Opel model both inside and out. You can’t really spot the relation unless you know of it beforehand. The 2020 Opel Corsa’s new platform also helps it shed significant weight over its GM-Fiat underpinned predecessor and, in doing so, it has become quicker, more efficient, and better at going around corners too. Sitting inside, you’ll notice the much lower and sportier driving position as well as the feeling of being cocooned in the cabin - a feeling akin to that you get from a sports car. It even feels a bit sportier inside than its Peugeot-badged cousin. Heard the Opel Corsa will be on sale in sg soon...

With a a drag coefficient of 0.29 and a frontal area of only 2.13 square metres, the new Opel Corsa is the most aerodynamic car in its segment. In its sixth-generation, the supermini has a frontal area that is significantly smaller than its predecessor’s, allowing the new car to improve its fuel consumption and emissions to new levels. Things that helped achieve the those impressive drag coefficient numbers include the use of an flat underbody panel that covers the engine compartment to the rear axle and a roof spoiler which improves airflow and reduces drag-inducing turbulence. The aforementioned spoiler has also been worked on to cut aerodynamic lift on the rear axle, thereby improving high speed stability on the Autobahn. Last but not least, the Corsa has also been equipped with an active grille shutter that is usually seen on more expensive cars from higher segments. When the engine is cooled sufficiently enough, the front grill closes which in turn redirects airflow around the front of the vehicle and down the sides, rather than through the engine compartment. The decision to open or close the shutter is made automatically, depending on engine coolant temperature and speed.

Hi there guys, So this weekend I had some time spent with an OPC Corsa and decided to do my first Performance road test for 2019. I have to say, this was not blistering fast but my word was it a fun little car with a big bark.

It looks like in some places bulldozers and other machinery alike has been put aside and substituted by an extraordinary 15-year old Opel Corsa. On the next video the tuned car is working on its next demolition. Everything looks good. Equipment has been checked, rope has been checked, tyres have been warmed up and demolition can start. Well you have to see the video to discover how it all ends! It's worth the wait. Enjoy (via: autoviva)

The TZ3 Corsa was built to commemorate 90 years of collaboration between Zagato and Alfa Romeo, and was commissioned by a German Alfa Romeo Zagato collector, Martin Kapp, while attending The Zandvoort Tribute, an event that honours Zagato. The TZ3 Corsa is a two-seater, rear-wheel drive supercar with a 4.2-litre V8 mid-mounted engine that produces 414bhp. The car has a mono shell tubular chassis made of carbon fibre as well as a body handmade from aluminium, meaning that the car weighs in at just 850kg. The TZ3 Corsa is fitted with 18-inch wheels that are matched with Pirelli PZero sport performance tyres. The engine calibration can be manually adjusted, and when combined with a six-speed sequential gearbox, allows the car to go from 0-100km/h in less than 3.5 seconds, and reach a top speed of over 300km/h.
