Next to aerodynamic modifications for the body, comes a with a performance package for the Astra GTC with the 1.6-liter turbocharged gasoline engine. A stage 1 kit lifts output from 180-horses and 230Nm to 212HP and 274 Nm (202 lb-ft).

As expected, being a tuning kit for a popular hatchback, the German tuner couldn’t forget the new rims, 21 inch alloys in this case, sitting on 245 sized tires. Customer can choose from several alloy wheel designs in sizes up to 21 inches.

For more stability and for a better ride, the suspension has been lowered by 30 mm. Also, exhaust exits through a stainless-steel system with new quad exhaust tips.

Beside this, the interior gets a “touch” of Irmscher with fine leather, aluminum trim and pedals.
