The first Opel Corsa rolled off the production line in 1982 – the starting signal for a success story that has continued to this day. In 40 years and six generations of vehicles, more than 14 million units have left the factory; the small car bestseller with the lightning bolt is more in demand than ever - especially as an emission-free Corsa-e. This anniversary must be celebrated: That's why all fans will soon be able to enjoy the Opel Corsa as a chic "40 Years" Edition - now Opel is showing the first pictures.

Opel Corsa 40 Years Edition

The special model, limited to 1982 units, shines in the new "Rekord Rot" paintwork - a reminiscence of the original red of the Corsa A. The black roof and the numerous black applications, including the Opel lightning bolt, form a strong contrast to this the exterior mirror housings, the tailgate opening and the Corsa logo in the middle of the rear. The high-gloss black 17-inch light-alloy wheels with matt gray inserts underline the sporty appearance. The interior of the "Corsa 40 years" is nostalgic and at the same time highly modern. Here the hearts of lovers of the Corsa A will beat faster.

Just like the first generation, the bestseller continues to impress people today with its unconventional chic: the characteristic checkered stripe pattern on the seat covers is a unique eye-catcher, which Opel now brings back to life in a modern interpretation for real Corsa fans. Fashion-conscious people who value an unusual style can also wear this pattern on their own body. Because the "Corsa 40 years" comes with a free anniversary box with socks in the vintage and original design from back then. The Corsa signature is also unique: Because every "Corsa 40 years" copy has its own numbering from 0001 to 1982, which is attached to the black radiant instrument panel on the passenger side.

many comfort and safety features

In addition, like every Corsa, the special model offers numerous standard comfort and safety features from Apple CarPlay and Android Auto-compatible multimedia radio to LED headlights and electronic aids such as the front collision warning system with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian detection. On the occasion of the “160 years of Opel” and “40 years of Opel Corsa” anniversaries, the brand with the lightning bolt is once again arousing customer enthusiasm for the successful small car. The Corsa is the best-selling small car in 2022 on the German market and the Corsa-e was the best-selling battery-electric vehicle in Germany in May.
