THE NEW CORSA GSE - Dynamic Media Event - STARD Driving Camp in Pachfurth

August 2026 – THE NEW CORSA GSE – Dynamic Media Event

The reveal of the new all-electric “hot hatch,” the Opel Corsa GSE, drew impressive media coverage with several hundred journalists from all over Europe! The event featured test drives on the super-dynamic handling course as well as co-pilot rides on our brand-new rally track – both on-road and off-road! All of this included a perfectly coordinated (fast) charging infrastructure for more than 40 electric cars!

Among those thrilled were not only Opel CEO Florian Huettl, the new Formula E pilot Mitch Evans, and test and development driver Sophia Flörsch, but also German handball World and European champions Dominik Klein and Steffen Weinhold.
