Opel is the first automobile manufacturer in the world to offer a battery-electric vehicle for customer rally sport. The development programme of Opel’s electric rally car is proceeding at full speed.
The engineers at Opel Motorsport will turn to the speed of the 100kW (136hp) electric rally car in the development. Currently durability testing is undergoing at the Dudenhofen Test Centre. Other focuses are on loads and temperature management of the battery under rally conditions, as well as adapting the software. We are pleased to report that our programme is going smoothly. We also decided that the Corsa-e Rally should match and exceed the high standards of its petrol-engine predecessor, the Opel ADAM Cup. We are on the right road here too. While the power output is almost the same, the 260Nm of torque is much higher than the ADAM Cup’s. The centre of gravity is low, thanks to the underfloor-mounted battery, and the weight distribution is also very good, which is extremely important for an agile competition car.
As soon as development of the Corsa-e Rally has been completed, a reference car will be built that will also serve as the template for customer vehicles. Around 20 examples are expected to be built for the 2020/21 season, up to 15 will be delivered to customer teams in the summer – in time for the first test event in July.
