Stellantis’ Opel brand has officially brought its radical new concept into the digital world. The Opel Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo, first revealed at the 2025 IAA Mobility Show in Munich, is now available to drive in Gran Turismo 7. The car arrives with the latest game update on September 24, making its debut just days after appearing at the Gran Turismo World Series event in Berlin.
A Digital and Real-World Fusion –
The Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo is Opel’s first “phygital” concept—merging physical design with digital gameplay. Gran Turismo series producer Kazunori Yamauchi explained his connection to Opel, crediting former Opel chief designer Hideo Kodama as a mentor. This personal tie adds weight to Opel’s decision to debut its next-generation design language inside one of the world’s most respected racing simulators.
“I am delighted that the Opel Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo will be available in Gran Turismo 7 from September 24. Its recent world premiere at the IAA Mobility 2025 in Munich generated a lot of interest – and we are now looking forward to putting it into the hands of the gaming community,“ expressed Opel CEO Florian Huettl. “I hope everybody enjoys the epitome of our GSE label.”
Specs Built for Gamers and Enthusiasts –
Make no mistake—this isn’t just a pretty digital model. The Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo is a serious performance machine, even in its concept form. Power comes from a fully electric setup producing 588 kW (800 horsepower) and 800 Nm (590 lb.-ft.) of torque. That output rockets the compact Opel from 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) in just 2.0 seconds and on to a top speed of 320 km/h (199 mph). These numbers put it in supercar territory.
A Look That Matches the Performance –
Visually, the Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo is far more aggressive than the everyday Corsa hatchback it shares a name with. Opel’s “Compass” design theme is exaggerated with sharp lines, muscular fenders, and race-bred aerodynamics. Active elements, such as an adjustable diffuser, aero curtains, and special wheel designs, help enhance both appearance and simulated performance.
Inside, the concept adheres to the same Compass design principle. Instead of multiple screens, the driver’s key data is projected onto a head-up display, visible through a slim steering wheel. The result is a cockpit stripped down for pure racing focus, emphasizing immersion and speed.
Opel’s Small Car Commitment –
While many automakers are pulling away from small cars, Opel is doubling down on them. The Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo highlights the brand’s commitment to keeping compact cars exciting, even in the EV era. More importantly, it reveals the company’s vision for its GSE performance label.
Why It Matters for Gamers –
For Gran Turismo 7 players, the Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo is more than just another downloadable car. It’s an opportunity to experience the future of Opel design and performance in a way that’s accessible to anyone with a PlayStation. By blending real-world premieres with digital availability, Opel is bridging the gap between the auto industry and gaming like never before.
With its mix of futuristic design, jaw-dropping performance, and Opel’s racing DNA, the Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo is set to be a fan favorite both in the virtual world and as a symbol of Opel’s electrified future.
