Opel Corsa V (Notizie)

[Touareg 2.5]

According to a recent report, the next-generation Opel / Vauxhall Corsa will be launched in 2014.

Auto Motor und Sport says the model will ride on the Gamma II platform which also underpins the Chevrolet Aveo / Sonic, Buick Encore and Opel Mokka. This could enable the next-generation Corsa to weigh 50 kg (110 lbs) less than the current model. Unfortunately, the car is expected to keep its torsion-beam rear suspension instead of a more expensive mutli-link setup.

The magazine also says the vehicle will be about the same size as today's model, but it will adopt dramatic styling with an aggressive front fascia and a coupe-like roofline.

Under the hood, we can expect a turbocharged 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine and a variety of four-cylinder units. The latter mills will reportedly feature forced induction, direct injection and a start/stop system.

Prime info sulla futura Corsa. Dovrebbe pesare circa 50kg in meno rispetto all'attuale ma dovrebbe mantenere le stesse dimensioni.

Niente Multilink al posteriore e stile aggressivo.

curioso di vedere come si mette a livello di costi, che devono essere tagliati a più non posso visto come stanno messi e un pianale che comunque con le auto citate mi pare non arrivi ai volumi dell'attuale sinergico con fiat

Non potrebbe essere che il Gamma II sia derivato dall'attuale pianale condiviso con Punto?

Non me la vedo GM a spendere soldoni per dare un pianale nuovo di zecca ad Aveo (e Mokka), sebbene quello della precedente Aveo fosse del 2002.

Riporto da Wiki:

Gamma II

GMDAT has taken responsibility for future development of the GSV (Global Small Vehicle) architecture,.[1][2] This architecture will eventually replace all small vehicles from GM, as a true global small car platform. Most of the engineering work on GSV based Opel/Vauxhall vehicles was done at Opels International Technical Development Center (ITDC) in Rüsselsheim, Germany.

Il Gamma II risulta sviluppato da Opel a partire dal 2006.

Altre notizie e un render: look da Astra GTC e 50kg in meno.

New Corsa 'will get Astra coupé looks'

Vauxhall’s new supermini promises rakish looks inspired by Astra GTC; due in 2014 with all-new engines

'The three-door Vauxhall Corsa will be more daring in design than the five-door'

The acclaimed Vauxhall Astra GTC will inspire the look of Opel-Vauxhall’s fifth-generation Corsa, insiders have revealed. The new supermini, scheduled to go into production in April 2014, will also feature a range of efficient new engines and could weigh less than a tonne in entry-level form as part of a weight-saving campaign.

Key to the Corsa’s success could be its Astra GTC-derived styling. The current Corsa’s looks have been a hit, and switching to a more dramatic and rakish style, while maintaining the current ‘grown-up’ dynamics, could prove to be a successful formula in evolving the car and maintaining its success.

The three-door model, depicted here in our artist’s rendering, will be a more daring design than the five-door with an almost coupé-like profile, although the two cars will share the same GTC-inspired front end with large headlights and a slim chrome grille. Vauxhall’s familiar ‘blade’ surfacing in the doors is also tipped to feature.

Underpinning the new Corsa, known internally as ‘Corsa E’, will be GM’s global Gamma II platform for small cars. It has already been seen beneath the latest Chevrolet Aveo and will also be used for Vauxhall’s upcoming Mokka compact SUV.

The platform is adaptable to various lengths and widths, but the Corsa is unlikely to grow too much from its current 3999mm length, 1737mm width and 1488mm height in its current five-door guise.

The steel platform, understood to be around 50kg lighter than the current Corsa’s underpinnings thanks to weight-saving features including tailored blanks, has been designed by GM’s fast-expanding Korean arm. But insiders have confirmed that much of the engineering for the next Corsa will take place in Germany to ensure it is suited to European tastes.

It is understood some early design work also took place in Korea, but the final look will be credited to Vauxhall’s European design team, which is currently without a leader following Mark Adams’ recent move to Cadillac and Buick and the sudden departure of his successor, David Lyons, just days before he was due to start.

The suspension set-up will be MacPherson struts up front and a torsion beam at the rear, while the steering will be electro-mechanical.

The staple petrol engines for the Corsa E will come from Vauxhall’s new Small Gasoline Engine (SGE) range. The three-cylinder and four-cylinder SGE units range in size from 1.0 litre to 1.4 litres. The turbocharged three-pot engine should allow the lightest Corsa to weigh under 1000kg.

A new 1.6-litre diesel engine is also in line for the Corsa. This engine is being developed as part of Vauxhall’s new Mid-Size Diesel family and is targeting more power and greater refinement than equivalent Volkswagen and Ford engines.

Stop-start will be standard on all Corsas, while a six-speed manual is expected to be the default gearbox option to replace the current five-speeder. Opel-Vauxhall also has a new seven-speed, dual-clutch automatic gearbox in development, but it is not yet clear whether it will be offered on the Corsa.

Opel-Vauxhall is targeting worldwide Corsa sales of half a million units per year, around 400,000 of which are expected to come from Europe.

Nel frattempo avevo reperito altre informazioni in giro e capito da che thread tu avevi tratto la tua affermazione, quello dell'Aveo.

Il riassunto è che il Gamma II è davvero un evoluzione di quello della vecchia (attuale) Corsa in comune con Punto ed il fatto che entri in produzione nel 2014 conferma ancora di più questa linea.

sarà per caso compatibile con un retrotreno diverso dal ponte torcente per i modelli opc ?

No. Non credo proprio almeno. L'unica auto piccola senza ponte torcente è la Mini, le altre lo hanno tutte…questione di costi/ingombri/sviluppo, infatti la Mini…

...Ma Zeus, raga, volete il multilink sulla Corsa (ok, OPC) quando ormai lo stanno togliendo dalle segmento C premium?

Parlate a voce bassa sennò quelli della Opel ce lo mettono davvero, tanto per vedere di quanto gli fa aumentare il rosso su base annua...

[bifidus]

ho capito: ma tanto come ho già scritto se uno vuole il vero piacere di guida e non guida sempre su di un rettilineo deve andare su altro (tipo Mx5)
