Opel - New Astra OPC Engine is King of Torque

The strongest four-cylinder gasoline engine on the European market in terms of highest specific torque comes from Opel. The turbocharged, direct-injection, 1998 cm3, all-aluminum unit in the Astra OPC not only has a maximum power output of 280 hp; with 200.2 Nm per liter, it has higher specific torque than any of its rivals, more even than super sports cars. The maximum torque of 400 Nm is developed at 2,450 rpm, stretching all the way to just under 5,000 rpm in a very wide plateau which ensures that the Astra OPC can deliver high performance in a variety of situations.
