No power, or a Opel Adam OPC

Opel had wished but it has decided not to bring Adam electric. Too high developments costs and inherently have an unattractive asking do decide to pull plug on the project. The ambitions to a burly Adam OPC to bring remain in force.

 The little Adam is a breath of fresh air through the ranks of Opel. The nota bene smallest Opel model to ever greater consumer appreciation for the brand to breed. Using a striking design, a long list of personalization options and a rich choice engine range with the Adam Opel preys on the charisma that surrounds the MINI and Fiat 500 hangs. These two premium models will also be available with an electric powertrain, and so wanted a Adam Opel EV. If technical basis, the Spark EV used, but the conclusion of a preliminary feasibility study is that an electrical Adam never be viable. "A high (er) asking for Adam EV questions is not an option, because consumers are not willing to commit such an investment," said Opel's chief engineer Dieter Metz opposite Automotive News. "The development of electric cars are now simply too high and therefore the plug from the Adam EV drawn. The business case such a model is only fitting to get the production numbers of these cars in the industry to rise strongly. "

Adam OPC
While the news about the passing of an Adam electric reaches us diving there stories of Adam OPC. No illogical idea because - yes - even his rivals in a fast version. That of the Italians only listens when Abarth 500 calls and the English are already times a -- with the MINI Cooper S (JCW). Moreover, an Adam OPC much cheaper to develop than an electric version and at least, if not better, for the image of Opel. A potential candidate engine is after all ready on the shelves of OPC, namely blown 1.6T that even in the hottest Corsa lies. Opel itself keeps lips around a possible Adam OPC still tightly, but the same Dieter Metz could not by saying that "the chassis of the Adam can handle much more than that of the Corsa OPC." Is that a hint?
