These are the first official images of the Opel Insignia OPC. The Insignia OPC is aimed at the Audi S4 Avant and the 335i Touring from BMW. The Insignia Stationwagon OPC or Sports Tourer will have the same mechanics as the four-door sedan which was introduced earlier this month.
The Sport Tourer OPC has four-wheel-drive and a 2.8-litre V6 engine with a twin-scroll turbocharger featuring 325-hp and 400Nm of torque.
Opel’s Insignia Sports Tourer OPC will be sold under the Vauxhall name in the UK, and it will have a six speed manual gearbox with an electronically limited-slip differential (eLSD).
The 0-96km/h time for this OPC is set at 6.0-seconds, and it will have a top speed of 250km/h.
Upgrades include a lowered suspension, new brakes and visual enhancements that include a new front fascia, new air vents and new side skirts. There is a redesigned rear bumper and new chromed exhaust pipes.
Inside you can find new Recaro bucket seats, a three spoke steering wheel and a flat bottom. There is a leather gear knob and new sill plates with a sportier instrument cluster.

Bring the Opel Insignia OPC Sports Tourer to the U.S. untouched (except with an optional six-speed automatic transmission for those that require one). GM should, as general practice, design and engineer in the necessary (most stringent baseline) structural standards required for any vehicle worldwide thus making it easy to adapt it to any market as desired. (And the rear hatch for these types of vehicles should always include a separate opening glass portion for ease of loading/unloading small items). Offer BAS-plus as an option to aid fuel economy……
The world will soon realise the ways behind import/export. At the moment they enjoy spending money on each country having their own specific models in various sizes.
I dont wanna be funny or anything but American is the most stubborn country with cars… Why must they have the biggest and why must they use the most money to create them?
