Introducing the new 576BHP VXR8

MOOGLEYS · 31 May 2013 at 10:19

New VXR8 GTS coming soon. It looks better than the previous model and with a 576Bhp & 545lb ft of torque Supercharged V8 it should be fun.

Butt ugly though.

Looks to be a bit crazy, but still a Vauxhall with questionable quality.

It's a Holden.

Around £18k cheaper than an M5 and E63 AMG but with more power than both according to Topgear.

But yet, the M5 or E63 AMG are (at least) £18k better.

Power is not the only qualifying factor in determining list price

That inside is a complete turd pile

Those brakes are just absurd.

Vauxhall need to crank up their AA. Don't want a car with jaggies!

Why?

Its got close to 600bhp, which is supercar levels of power, brakes seem reasonable to me. :confused:

Considering they are 20" wheels they are a touch on the large size...

But with nearly 600Bhp I bet they are needed this is no light car either.

I'm not saying it's unreasonable, of course they are needed but they are just silly big

Optional extra.

Its abit 'out there' for me. But i like the look.

alx · 31 May 2013 at 11:20

Is it just me or do the rear tyres look a bit skinny for nigh on 600bhp?? Maybe it's the picture.

MOOGLEYS · 31 May 2013 at 11:22

£54,999 otr orders being taken now...

Imy · 31 May 2013 at 11:24

I think they're starting to get carried away with the price. I'd want something more special for £55k.

Whoever makes the buttons/knobs for Vauxhall must make an absolute fortune.

It will be a lot less when they have them.
