There’s no way to sugar-coat it so we’re going to give it to you straight: the new Astra OPC is sportscar fast but really expensive. Instead of sitting in hot hatch territory with the Megane RS, the Opel is now €34,250.
We’re willing to bet that not a whole lot of people are willing to part with that sort of money for a front-wheel drive car. But in case you are, here are some of the most important new specs.

Thanks to a highly-tuned 2.0-liter turbo, the Astra OPC makes no less than 280 hp and 400 Nm or torque. This is enough for an acceleration from zero to a 100km/h in only 6.0 seconds and a top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph).

In its defense, the Astra OPC is really well equipped, with the following standard kit:

• AFL+ adaptive forward lighting
• Navi 600 navigation system
• Two-zone automatic air conditioning
• Park assistant at the rear
• 19” lightweight alloy OPC wheels
• On-board computer with selected performance data
• LED rear lamps
• Tinted rear windows

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
