Opel Insignia Propulsion

When we’re talking about the OPC version of the Insignia premium sedan, we’re talking about performances. Actually, this is the chapitre where the customers pay much and they expect some results.
At Opel Insignia, we’re talking of 6.0 seconds for 0-100 km / h, an amount considered too high in relation to the spirit of the model. This "delay" in relation to opponents of the market - and we denote here mainly on the Passat R36 (to 5.6 seconds), but we can add in the landscape and Audi S4 and the 335i (with 5.5 and 5.6 seconds) - is due mainly box with long steps that do not favor a very rapid acceleration and total mass of the model, with 150 kg higher than the top version of Passat. Half 80-120 km / h, a very important model for an eminently sport is done in 7.1 seconds OPC badge, his opponents were faster and this chapter. Ones, the Opel is saved by the limit of 250 km / h German manufacturers of self. Basically, badges OPC manages to pass over all models "classical" segment of the environment, but not rise to the level of the sport versions. The most obvious reasons are related to reduced cylinder engine (2.8 liter V6 to less than 3.0 liter V6 in the 335i and S4 and even 3.6 liters in the Passat R32's) and total mass of the model, at least 100 pounds in May higher than that of the nearest competitor. Naturally, I have to announce the fuel consumption values because I’m a fan of the used cars process and this is an important domain. The official value, announced by the German producer is rounding 15 l/100 km which really dissapoints me.
