Opel has announced first details of the fastest ever road-legal Astra. A limited production run of the Astra VXR Extreme will follow the car's debut at the Geneva show in March.
The Extreme is a street-legal race version of the road-going Astra OPC and is based on last year's Astra Cup race car, which competed in the Nürburgring Endurance Championship.
It promises to have a mouth-watering spec when released, using plenty of carbon fibre and featuring an integrated safety structure, racing seats and six-point safety harnesses. Expect it to make more than the 280hp/400Nm the street OPC puts out too.
Anything else?
The road-going hot Astra is the best-selling OPC of all. More information about the Extreme will follow next month.
