Official: Opel Insignia OPC Sports Tourer revealed

After the Opel Insignia OPC was introduced last month a wagon or Sports Tourer variant followed which is due to hit showrooms of Opel and Vauxhall in the second half of 2009. The OPC Sports Tourer, like its sedan sibling, is equipped with the same twin-turbo engine, refined AWD chassis and an acceleration rate from 0-60mph in under 6 seconds.

Power output is pegged at 325hp (242kW). OPC (Opel Performance Center) is the designation provided to models developed by GM’s official European in-house tuner. The designation was previously used for models like the Astra and compact Corsa hatchbacks. When sold under the Vauxhall brand of UK OPC models are rebadged as VXRs. The main distinction between the sedan and Sports Tourer is the additional storage area of the wagon body, which provides 540 liters of luggage space with the 40:60 split rear seats up and 1,530 liters when they are down.

I love the look of this car. In fact, I think the sedan version is the best looking affordable 4 door on the market.

Next to Audi, I feeling Opel. I glad that Fiat will be purchasing Opel. I'm sure a business case will finally be made to bring the brand here finally.
