New ASTRA OPC

[Kwanelle18]

Just a question... Should the new Astra OPC not be out by now? The current astra has been out for 2 years already and still no word on the OPC’s release.

Correct as it's not as simple as that.

We can bump up that thread & have a meaningful discussion if you are keen?

I have 2 theories.

any new news of an Astra OPC ? I have the 1.6T Astra K but would love to upgrade to an OPC version of it.

I know the PSA group took over the Opel brand so that's probably one of the big delays -- maybe no market/interest for production?

Not that we'll be getting it... And if we do, it'll be R700k or something stupid.
