Like the mechanically-related Peugeot E-208 GTi, the Corsa GSE has a 281PS motor with a Torsen mechanical limited-slip differential, and can accelerate to 62mph in 5.5 seconds.
The Corsa GSE undercuts the Peugeot on price by £2,000.
Other performance enhancements compared with a standard Corsa include four-piston Alcon front brakes, a new rear anti-roll bar, wider tracks front and rear, new front knuckles and Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres.
With the Michelin tyres, range is 220 miles, although the Hankook Ventus S1 evo3 can be fitted optionally, boosting range to 232 miles.
Vauxhall said the chassis of the Corsa GSE was developed on the Nürburgring.
Design changes for the GSE include three-spoke 18-inch alloy wheels, GSE-specific seats with tartan trim, yellow seatbelts, a black roof and wheel arch extensions.
