SIC Notícias7 September 2026 at 18:46

The new Opel Corsa GSE was presented to the world at Caramulo MotorFestival, before its official display at the Paris Motor Show. This is an electric vehicle that represents one of the main novelties of the German brand for this year.

With a power output of 281 hp (207 kW), the Corsa GSE is capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.5 seconds, making it the fastest Opel ever. This electric performance positions the model as a sporty option within the Corsa range.

The vehicle arrives in Portugal in the last quarter of the year, with a base price of 39,900 euros. Interested buyers can already place orders at the brand's dealerships.

Found abandoned kittens? There's a free app that tells you exactly who to call

A couple of expats who moved to the Algarve in 2022 created the free application "Stray – Algarve Cat Help", launched this year for Android and iPhone, which helps anyone who finds abandoned cats quickly identify the nearest municipal kennel, veterinarian, or association in any of the sixteen municipalities of the region. The app arose from the couple's frustration at discovering too late that the sterilization and vaccination of street cats is a free public service available in all Algarve municipalities. Without registration, without advertising, and non-profit, the tool was developed with the collaboration of the associations and municipal kennels themselves, and has already received support from volunteers offering translations and design. The couple continues to feed a colony near Estoi and promotes a fundraiser for food, vaccines, and winter shelters, as well as a children's book whose rights revert to the same cause.
