Opel Mokka by Steinmetz

Steinmetz has introduced a new styling program for the Opel / Vauxhall Mokka. Starting up front, the model can be equipped with a new grille and a front bumper guard. Moving further back, there's tubular side steps, chrome plated door handles and a 25mm reduced ride height. Customers can also order a sports exhaust system and 19-inch alloy wheels.

Interior changes are limited but the company offers branded floor mats and apparently nothing else.

There's no word on any performance modifications, so the engines likely carryover untouched. This means we can expect a 1.6-liter petrol with 115 HP (85 kW), a turbocharged 1.4-liter petrol with 140 HP (103 kW) and a 1.7-liter CDTI diesel with 130 HP (93 kW).

The Mokka is a fresh new name in Opel’s lineup and already it has received some attention from a tuner. German aftermarket specialist Irmscher has developed a customization program for the sub-compact SUV as Opel likes to call it.

There’s also a new roof spoiler and a different exhaust system located at the back. Inside the cabin, leather can be used for covering the multifunction steering wheel and the seats, while Irmscher has also designed different floor mats.

The Opel Mokka can be fitted with a lowering module that brings it closer to the road by 30mm and can ride on a new set of 20-inch Evo-Star or Turbo-Star alloy wheels.

Opel Corsa OPC by Dbilas Dynamic

German tuner Dbilas Dynamic has a tuning kit for the Opel Corsa OPC that adds more than few extra ponies to the hot little hatch.

The Opel Corsa OPC comes standard with 192 PS on its 1.6 liter turbo engine which Dbilas Dynamic offers to dial upward by more than 50 percent. After the tuning job is complete, the Opel OPC will have 320 PS (235 kW) and 400 Nm of torque at its disposal.

The Rödermark-based tuner achieves that figure with a very comprehensive engine overhaul which includes fitting the tuner's own steel connecting rods, forged pistons and turbocharger as well as adding a sport exhaust system. The tuning also involves ECU-mapping, new sport air filter and new air induction system.

320 PS on the 1,100 kg Corsa OPC makes for a pretty zippy 0 to 100 km/h sprint time of 5.1 seconds and provides the car with a weight to power ratio of 3.44 kg per PS. Top speed is a German autobahn-appropriate 264 km/h (164 mph).

The Corsa OPC also gets an Eibach suspension kit that lowers the car by 20 mm. Als

o helping to improve traction are 19-inch rims wrapped in 215/35ZR19 85Y Hankook tires.
