You’re not looking at a purpose-built racing car, but a street legal, race-honed machine that is the Opel Astra OPC Extreme. For now labelled as a “super sports study,” the uber-hatch will make its public debut at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show next month.
It won’t just stay as a concept study, though, as Opel has announced that the Extreme sets the foundation for a low-volume production model. When that does happen – no timelines have been set – it will be the fastest street legal Astra ever. A Vauxhall-badged version is possible too.
Opel says the sports coupe is a direct derivative of its Nurburgring Endurance Championship (VLN) racecar, the Astra OPC Cup. It gets carbon components, an integrated safety structure, racing seats and six-point seatbelts so it can really call the Nurburgring Nordschleife its second home.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.

Really hope Renault will sell the street version of the Megane Trophy to battle with this Astra
