OPEL UNVEILS NEW MOKKA GSE RALLY PROTOTYPE: THE FUTURE OF ELECTRIC RALLYING STARTS NOW
OPEL UNVEILS NEW MOKKA GSE RALLY PROTOTYPE: THE FUTURE OF ELECTRIC RALLYING STARTS NOW

 

 

 

Opel has revealed its new Opel Mokka GSE Rally prototype, just days after the German marque teased about the return of the iconic GSE sub-brand in 2025. The Mokka GSE Rally premiered at the second round of the ADAC Opel Electric Rally Cup 2025 at the ELE Rally in Eindhoven, Netherlands on 23/24 May. It is the world's first rally car currently being developed according to the FIA's new eRally5 regulations.

 

 

 

 

The new, serial production Opel Mokka, just arrived in Ireland, is already an exciting head turner with its characteristic design, new colours, new cockpit and top technologies. The new Mokka GSE Rally retains much of this but is stronger, faster, more uncompromising in every respect.

 

From the outside, the Mokka GSE Rally is an absolute eye-catcher, with its large “OMG! GSE” lettering, yellow brake calipers at the front and yellow rims at the rear, visible air intake on the roof and "Mokka GSE RALLY" emblazoned in white and yellow lettering on the black bonnet.

 

 

 

 

 
 
Inside, an electric peak power output of 207 kW (280 hp) and torque of 345 Newton metres, combined with sophisticated motorsport technology, promise performance on a par with a Rally4 car. A multi-plate limited-slip differential and a racing gearbox, together with reinforced drive shafts and wheel hubs, provide powerful propulsion. The chassis was manufactured in a lightweight design. The perfectly tuned rally suspension from Bilstein consists of reinforced McPherson struts and uniball mounts on the front axle as well as a rigid rear axle with modified springs and dampers. Electronic driving aids such as ABS, ESP, lane-keep assist and traction control are all absent on the Mokka GSE Rally. Based on the experience gained from the Corsa Rally Electric, the software tuning for the engine and battery management has been designed for maximum efficiency, driveability under competitive conditions and performance. The battery corresponds to the series version with a storage capacity of 54 kWh.
 
 

 

High safety standards have been retained and like the Opel Corsa Rally Electric, the Mokka GSE Rally also has a roll cage (certified by the FIA), rally seats with six-point seatbelts, a special encapsulation of the battery and an additional underride guard. The 400-volt system is continuously monitored by the proven Master Alarm Indicator. In the unlikely event of an insulation issue, a visual and acoustic warning system immediately reports a malfunction. In the event of a sudden deceleration (such as in a collision), a sophisticated sensor system completely shuts down the high-voltage system in a few tenths of a second. In addition, the Mokka GSE Rally has a special extinguishing system with electrically non-conductive extinguishing agent.

 

 

The Opel Mokka GSE Rally is the world's first rally car currently being developed according to the FIA's new eRally5 regulations. The fast prototype could thus be used worldwide in multiple customer sport competitions from the 2026 rally season. The Mokka GSE Rally thus represents the next possible development stage for all-electric rally one-make racing.

 

 

The next round of the ADAC Opel Electric Rally Cup ‘powered by GSE’ 2025 will take place at the Rallye Vosges Grand-Est, on 14th and 15th June.

* The fuel consumption and CO2 emissions figures mentioned comply with the WLTP test procedure, on the basis of which new vehicles are type approved from 1 September 2018. This WLTP procedure replaces the European drive cycle (NEDC), which was the test procedure used previously. Due to more realistic test conditions, the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions measured under the WLTP are, in many cases, higher compared to those measured under the NEDC. The fuel consumption and CO2 emissions figures may vary depending on actual conditions of use and on different factors such as: specific equipment, options and format of tires. Please contact your dealer for further information. For more information on WLTP click here https://www.wltpfacts.eu/.

** The fuel consumption and CO2 emissions figures mentioned are determined according to the new test procedure WLTP and the relevant values are translated back into NEDC to allow the comparability with other vehicles. Please contact your dealer for the latest information. The values do not take into account in particular use and driving conditions, equipment or options and may vary depending on the format of tires. For more information on official fuel consumption and CO2 emission values, please read the guideline "Guideline for fuel consumption, CO2 emissions of new passenger cars" freely available in all point of sales.

*** The range and electric consumption figures mentioned comply with the WLTP test procedure, on the basis of which new vehicles are type approved from 1 September 2018. They may vary depending on actual conditions of use and on different factors such as: speed, thermal comfort on board the vehicle, driving style, vehicle load and outside temperature. The charging time depends in particular on the power of the charger on board the vehicle, the charging cable and the type and power of the charging station used.
