Opel at 65th Frankfurt International Motor Show
147 kW/200 hp, 300 Newton meters maximum torque and 235 km/h
top speed – the especially powerful version of the new Opel 1.6 SIDI turbo
engine generation makes its world premiere in the Opel Cascada at the Frankfurt
Motor Show (IAA) from September 12 – 22. This is the first time Opel will show
the high-performance version of the new mid-size convertible that tops the
Cascada gasoline portfolio, and that is also clearly recognizable thanks to two
exhaust tailpipes. The engine is one of the completely newly designed Opel
four-cylinder units with gasoline direct injection (SIDI = Spark Ignition
Direct Injection) and in this second, new variant it marks the power peak of
Opel’s 1.6-liter class. It joins the 1.6 SIDI turbo with 125 kW/170 hp that was
already introduced during the Cascada’s market launch in the spring. Both new
engines are released for unlimited usage of regular and super gasoline fuel.
