Vauxhall ADAM S pocket rocket set for Geneva debut

Breaking cover at the Geneva Motor Show is the close-to-production ADAM S, the hot new performance version of Vauxhall's urban chic newcomer.

The ADAM S featuring a 150PS, 1.4-litre Turbo ECOTEC engine, sports-tuned suspension, VXR braking system and distinctive ‘Red 'n Roll' styling.

With 150PS and 220Nm of torque on tap, the special new version of the 1.4-litre Turbo ECOTEC unit in the ADAM S gets a specific power output exceeding 100PS/litre. It is a turbocharged, high performance unit derived from the ADAM's existing four-cylinder, 1.4-litre engine, that has been exclusively developed for the ADAM S. It delivers 50 per cent more horsepower and 70 per cent more torque than its naturally-aspirated 1.4-litre stable-mate. Mated to a six-speed manual gearbox, it propels the ADAM S to a top speed of 137mph.

ADAM S's 1.4 Turbo engine includes dual cam phasing for continuously variable valve timing and a turbocharger integrated within the exhaust manifold for reduced weight and compact packaging. Numerous weight-saving features include a cast iron block with a hollow frame structure, hollow-cast camshafts and a plastic intake manifold. Start/Stop technology is naturally fitted, and the engine already meets the future Euro 6 emission standards.

More power is just part of this powertrain'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 Vauxhall/Opel stand also reveals how stopping power is increased with the installation of larger VXR 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 tyres.

Unique looks with Red 'n Roll design theme

The ADAM S gives further impressions of features from the future production version. Its red body paint is paired with an anthracite grey roof enhanced by a special rear spoiler; the grille brand bar and door mirror caps both feature a sporty carbon-look. The front lip spoiler, side sill moldings and an extended rear bumper cut-out with a visible, bold exhaust tailpipe complete the ADAM S livery.

The cabin features front Recaro Performance seats in Morrocana and leather and adopts ADAM S's unique Red 'n Roll design theme. It consists of a leather pack, including a red leather-trimmed steering wheel, gearshift and handbrake as well as distinctive red and white flashes on the instrument and door panels. Many further refined details allow for more individualisation.

The close-to-production ADAM S version also has black rear privacy glass, LED daytime running and rear tail lights, electronic climate control and Vauxhall's sophisticated IntelliLink system that offers state-of-the-art connectivity and apps. This infotainment system is fully compatible with latest smartphones using both ANDROID and Apple iOS. It provides USB and Bluetooth connectivity, audio streaming, seven speakers and a seven-inch high-definition colour touch-screen. Vauxhall's smart IntelliLink system also provides navigation by the BringGo app, as well as the Stitcher and TuneIn apps. The integration of Apple iOS devices into the system enables use of the Siri Eyes Free voice control function. It's safe and easy-to-use technology which makes ADAM the best connected small car on the market.
