\n

Vauxhall has revealed plans to fill its tiny Corsa with lots of power and lots of electricity and slap a familiar (ish) badge on the back. A hot new Corsa GSE is incoming.<\/p>\n

And Vauxhall assures us this successor to the likes of the Nova GTE and GSI and Corsa GSI and VXR will be inspired by motorsport, specifically the ADAC GSE Rally Cup.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

That\u2019s the series Vauxhall the Mokka GSE will contest \u2013 the first car in the company\u2019s fully electric performance GSE lineup, and the one from which this new Corsa will learn.<\/p>\n

Obviously we don\u2019t know exactly what<\/em> this new Corsa GSE will learn as yet, Vauxhall only telling us it has a \u201cproud heritage of hot hatches\u201d and that the GSE\u2019s performance will be \u2013 wait for it \u2013 \u201celectrifying\u201d with \u201czero emissions\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

For reference, the Mokka features a 54kWh battery powering a front-mounted motor with 276bhp and 255lb ft. It gets a multi-plate limited slip diff, fancy dampers, big brakes and a multitude of tweaks to the steering and chassis. Expect similar treatment to this incoming Corsa GSE.<\/p>\n

Looks? Well, that teaser image isn\u2019t helpful, but perhaps the Vauxhall Corsa GSE is. Remember? Vauxhall has already built a Corsa GSE in the form of its comically outsized, 800bhp (!) Vision Gran Turismo car<\/a>. No, the new one won\u2019t look like a mad Group B render, but hey, we can hope.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThe Corsa GSE will combine small and agile practicality with thrilling, pure electric, motorsport-inspired power and dynamics.,\u201d said Vauxhall boss Eurig Druce. We\u2019ll see it later this year.<\/p>\n
