Opel Corsa GSE Vision GT: 800hp EV Hot Hatch for Gamers

If you thought electric cars were about some boring SUVs and long-range sedans, you didn't see this coming—Opel has just re-written the script. Meet the Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo, a concept hatchback that feels less like a car for the city, and more like a rocket on wheels. Opel calls it a, "Grand Sport Electric," and the figures show why. With 800 hp, doing 0–62 mph in just 2 seconds, and a top speed almost 200 mph, this little thing has already entered the automotive limelight. And the best news? You'll soon be able to drive it yourself, virtually, in Gran Turismo 7.

Supercar Performance in a Hatchback Body

This isn’t just another futuristic sketch—it’s a performance monster. The Corsa GSE Vision GT hides two electric motors (one front, one rear) that combine for an insane 800 horsepower. That’s more than a Ferrari 296 GTB.

Key highlights include:

• 0–62 mph in 2.0 seconds – faster than most modern supercars.

• Top speed: 199 mph (320 km/h) – unheard of in hatchback territory.

• 82 kWh battery pack – cleverly integrated without making it heavy.

• Weight: 1,170 kg (2,579 lbs) – lighter than almost any EV in its class.

Opel has proven that EVs don’t have to be heavy or dull—they can be pocket-sized powerhouses built for thrills.

Design That Looks Straight Out of a Sci-Fi Movie

One glance at the Corsa GSE Vision GT and you’ll know it’s no ordinary hatchback. This car has been sculpted for speed, with wild aerodynamics that make it look like a mini Le Mans racer.

Standout aero features include:

• Adaptive rear wing that changes position at high speeds.

• Deep rear diffuser for stability and downforce.

• Blade-style side skirts to manage airflow like a race car.

• Aero bonnet and sculpted panels that reduce drag.

Even standing still, the car looks like it’s breaking the sound barrier.

A Cabin That Feels Like the Future

Inside, Opel ditched the giant touchscreen trend and kept it clean and driver-focused. Everything you see is designed to enhance the racing experience.

Cool interior touches include:

• Head-up display that projects speed and performance stats.

• Lightweight “floating” bucket seats built for track driving.

• Yoke-style steering for sharper control.

• Glowing fabrics that react to blind-spot warnings or other alerts.

It’s futuristic yet simple—exactly what a race-focused EV should feel like.

Built for the Real World… and the Gaming World

Here’s what makes the Corsa GSE Vision GT unique: it doesn’t just exist as a one-off showpiece. You’ll get two chances to experience it:

• In real life – Opel will show off a physical prototype at IAA Mobility 2025 in Munich this September.

• In gaming – The car is coming to Gran Turismo 7 this fall for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 players.

This “phygital” strategy—mixing physical and digital worlds—makes the car feel more accessible than any traditional concept car.
