Opel Mokka GSE: The fastest electric car ever with rally DNA

The German brand has unveiled the first official images of the new Mokka GSE, a radically dynamic version of its renowned compact SUV, designed to bring the thrills of electric off-roading to the road. This car marks a turning point: it will be the fastest electric Opel ever, but also the most daring in design, technology, and visual identity. Not just a simple restyling, but a true statement of intent.

The OMG! GSE project didn't emerge from nowhere. Opel capitalized on five years of experience in the ADAC Opel Electric Rally Cup, bringing the spirit and technical know-how of electric motorsport to the Mokka GSE. The result is a car that promises 280 hp, a top speed of 200 km/h, and blistering acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.9 seconds. These figures, until recently, seemed reserved for far more extreme and expensive vehicles.

This performance is made possible by an advanced electric powertrain powered by a 54 kWh lithium-ion battery. But it's not just power that defines the experience. The Mokka GSE weighs less than 1.6 tons, an excellent figure for an electric car, and uses technical solutions inherited from rallying, such as front-wheel drive with a Torsen limited-slip differential, dual hydraulic shock absorbers, and a completely redesigned chassis. The steering, brakes, and suspension have also been optimized to offer immediate and engaging responses, both on the track and in everyday traffic.

Drivers can choose between three driving modes : Sport, Normal, and Eco , to adapt performance and range to their needs. In Sport mode, the Mokka GSE unleashes its full potential, while in Eco mode, it becomes a model of efficiency without sacrificing its characteristic energy.

If the performance is impressive, the design is no exception. The new Mokka GSE leaves no doubt as to its intentions. GSE inserts inspired by the Rally1 prototype adorn the front and rear, while 20-inch wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport EV tires enhance the aggressive profile. The yellow GSE details on the brake calipers, graphics, and side signatures stand out, all designed to create an aesthetic consistent with the vehicle's racing soul.

The interior also makes a statement. GSE Alcantara sports seats, contrasting yellow stitching, white center accents, and a steering wheel with flattened top and bottom demonstrate an attention to detail that extends beyond visual appeal. Aluminum sports pedals and Alcantara door inserts complete an environment designed to engage, not just transport.

The fully customizable 10-inch digital cockpit provides real-time data on acceleration, G-forces, battery performance, and driving modes. It's an interface that's not just functional, but emotional, giving the driver full control of the vehicle. The central touchscreen has also been updated in signature GSE style, making every control part of an immersive and highly connected experience.

The new Opel Mokka GSE represents an important step in the brand's transformation with the Blitz, demonstrating once again how electrification can coexist with driving pleasure, sportiness, and style. It's a car designed for those who want to stand out, for those who aren't satisfied with the anonymity of green mobility, but seek a concrete, expressive, and high-performance solution.

The official launch and dynamic presentation will take place in the coming months, but the Mokka GSE already promises to be one of the stars of the automotive fall. For those who always thought electric meant silence and caution, the message is clear: OMG, this Opel really runs.
