NEW 2015 Opel Adam S revealed

The close-to-production Opel ADAM S version showcases the hot new performance model that will top Opel's small car family. Featuring a 110 kW/150 hp, 1.4-liter Turbo ECOTEC engine, sports-tuned suspension, OPC braking system and distinctive 'Red 'n' Roll' styling, ADAM S impeccably blends punch and power with zestful, sharp-edged responses.

With 110 kW/150 hp and 220 Nm of torque on tap, the special new version of the 1.4-liter Turbo ECOTEC unit in the ADAM S boasts a specific power output exceeding 100 hp/liter. It is a turbocharged, high performance unit derived from the ADAM's existing four-cylinder, 1.4-liter engine, that has been exclusively developed for the ADAM S. It delivers 50 percent more horsepower and 70 percent more torque than its naturally-aspirated 1.4-liter stable-mate. Combined to a six-speed manual gearbox, it propels the ADAM S to a top speed of 220 km/h.

More power is just part of this pocket rocket's appeal -- it also has a specially-tuned performance chassis developed exclusively for the ADAM S and direct, sharp performance steering to match. The car displayed on the Opel booth also reveals how stopping power is increased with the installation of larger OPC performance 'S' Red Brakes including 16-inch front and 15-inch rear discs featuring red-painted calipers. The 18-inch wheels are fitted with 225/35 R 18 tires.
