Introducing the new 576BHP VXR8

[Disco Boy]

Those brakes are just absurd.

The rear brakes look to be the same size/ onlyfractionally smaller than the fronts too.

[Howard]

That thing look bloody awful, inside and out.



I'd still have one though.

 

[NathWraith]

not nice at all. big BHP or not.

 

[PinkFloyd]

Nice engine, but man it's ugly. Prefer the less garish looks of the Monaro and earlier VXR8s.

 

[MooMoo444]

I like the look

hit the nail right on the head there, it's all blinded up and looks "pretty" at the rear with silly lights... sorry, this is a styling mistake... always liked the orignals but this one is going the way fo the Range Rover... LED and bling city... with no taste... overpriced (at £35-39k VFM, at this price, sorry but a 1 year old M5 will leave it for dead)... no one will pay this price for a Vauxhall... no matter how much rear end out action it gives.

Mistake. VNR/Monaro used to be muscle car... now it's trying to be something else...

 

[!bluetonic!]

If I had one, I would prefer the Thundercats logo on the steering wheel and seats.

 

[Berger]

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

I'd guess they are made by HSV in Aus and just badged Vauxhall.

A high dollar will ramp the price up paying the Australian labour.

 

[jellybeard999]

At a bargain price I can see the appeal of these, but if I had the money for a super saloon, I'd rather pay the extra or go nearly new and get the Audi/Merc/BMW equivalent.

The residuals of these will be horrendous I expect?

 

[Housey]

£54,999 otr orders being taken now...

26k when you reach the road from the forecourt.

 

[bledd]

I've only ever seen one VXR8 in the flesh, it went like stink!

 

[Rybo89]

Saving that for the **** bank later! Ufffffffft!

 

[peterattheboro]

I'd buy one for the noise alone..

When they come down in price

For only 3k extra - I would take the Audi absolutely every day of my life

The VX looks fugly - very,(well the back, front isn't too bad) the back end is god awful just looks like a bogo std vaux estate.

I'm sure it is a good car, but by god is the pricing out - wants to be about 30k I reckon

That's the older VXR8 this new one has an extra 150bhp and is meant to handle better although I doubt it's anywhere near Audi standards of handling.

 

[Mucky_Pup]

I'll pick one up second hand for a lot less at some point.

Did you really just use Audi as a benchmark for handling?
