"Power for its single front-mounted motor has been increased to a rather impressive 277 hp and torque is up to 254 lb-ft (345 Nm). That's considerably more on both counts than the regular model, which has 154 hp and 192 lb-ft (260 Nm)."
"With this extra power, the GSE can accelerate from a standstill to 62 mph (100 km/h) in just 5.5 seconds, and it will keep going until 112 mph (180 km/h); the regular model tops out at 93 mph (150 km/h) and needs 8.1 seconds to reach 62 mph."
"Further helping it put the power down, especially when accelerating out of corners, is a Torsen limited-slip differential. This should really make the GSE feel like a proper hot hatch, even if a much quieter one than what drivers were used to."
The Opel Corsa GSE transforms the standard Corsa EV into a high-performance electric hot hatch with 277 horsepower and 254 lb-ft of torque, nearly doubling the regular model's output. It accelerates from 0-62 mph in 5.5 seconds with a top speed of 112 mph. Performance enhancements include a Torsen limited-slip differential, Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires, lowered and stiffened suspension, and upgraded braking systems. These modifications enable the front-wheel-drive vehicle to effectively manage its power delivery. Weighing 3,425 lbs, the GSE maintains a lightweight feel while using the same battery as the standard model, resulting in reduced range. This vehicle represents the resurgence of electric hot hatchbacks in the market.
