Vauxhall is celebrating 40 years of the Corsa and Nova supermini line with a new tartan-infused pure electric Corsa-e Anniversary Edition.
Limited to 1,000 units, the special Corsa-e comes in custom Record Red paint – and, inside, has tartan upholstery inspired by the 1980s Nova SR.
In a novel touch, each Anniversary Edition also comes with a box of collectors’ socks featuring both classic and modern versions of the Vauxhall tartan.
Available to order exclusively online, the Corsa-e Anniversary Edition costs £31,000.
Heritage-inspired colour
Vauxhall says the Record Red paint is inspired by the original Nova’s Carmine Red hue.
The Corsa-e Anniversary Edition gets a black grille, black front and rear Vauxhall Griffin logos and black ‘Corsa’ lettering on the bootlid, a feature also seen on the new Astra.
The 17-inch wheels are gloss black with matt grey inserts.
Inside, there’s a black dashboard strip and numbered plate to mark its limited edition status.
Based on the GS Line variant, standard equipment also includes heated front seats and steering wheel, 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment and a 7.0-inch digital instrument cluster.
The 136hp electric motor is combined with a 50kWh battery, giving a driving range of up to 222 miles.
100kW rapid charging is standard, for an 80 percent charge in 30 minutes.
Emerging as the UK’s best-selling car in 2021, the latest Corsa, which was launched in 2019, continues to lead the sales charts so far in 2022.
The Corsa-e was also the UK’s best-selling electric car last month.
More than two million Corsas have been sold in the UK to date.
