opel insignia opc nuevas fotos espa desde espaa

Yes, in the midst of the GM – Opel divorce, the tell-me-why-we-went-upmarket-again Insignia turbo six has appeared on our favorite Spanish auto blog Motorpasion (hola amigos!). I could summarize their info, but I know that our Best and Brightest are a multilingual mob—or at least] listened to Dora the Explorer way too many times. So here’s the quatro uno uno from la boca de caballo. But remember: these are spy shots. No digas ni mu or ni pío de esto.

Es una pena que nuestro lector Daerox no haya podido acercarse algo más a esta unidad del Opel Insgnia OPC, ya que hubiesemos podido verlo con total claridad, puesto que iba totalmente desnudo al ser el protagonista de un reportaje fotográfico.

Pero menos da una piedra y ya que en la presentación privada sólo pudimos ver su frontal, ahora, aunque en la imagen se vea algo pequeño, también podemos ver su trasera, que presenta un nuevo paragolpes con lo que parece un pequeño difusor, flanqueado por una salida de escape a cada lado.

La información oficial todavía está por revelar, así que todos los datos son meras especulaciones, pero recordemos que se hablaba de un motor V6 Twin-Turbo de 320 CV con los que plantar cara a rivales como el Volkswagen Passat R36 o el Audi S4 ~~RS4~~. De momento, apunta maneras con esa tracción integral y unas vías más anchas. Y por que no, con una estética muy bien conseguida.

This car is gorgeous. I hope GM brings it over here in a similar form, and hopefully with AWD. I'm never going to own a FWD sedan if I can help it.

I too am watching the Opel-Saturn thing unfold too. They should have planned ahead and sold the Insignia here as the Aura (or just skipped the whole rebadge thing). Of course they might need to build it here to actually profit from it. Dunno why they don't promote their Saturn products better and build some of the Opels in the USA (or Mexico at least) so they can profit from these nice products they sell everywhere else. Imagine an Astra or Insignia wagon. Yeah...

SCE to AUX Range only matters if you need more of it - just like towing capacity in trucks.I have a short-range EV and still manage to put 1000 miles/month on it, because the car is perfectly suited to my use case.There is no such thing as one-size-fits all with vehicles.

28-Cars-Later " Electrek recently dug around in Tesla’s online parts catalog and found that the windshield costs a whopping $1,900 to replace.To be fair, that’s around what a Mercedes S-Class or Rivian windshield costs, but the Tesla’s glass is unique because of its shape. It’s also worth noting that most insurance plans have glass replacement options that can make the repair a low- or zero-cost issue. "Now I understand why my insurance is so high despite no claims for years and about 7,500 annual miles between three cars.
