Vauxhall is pleased to announce the launch of the stunning Corsa VXR Arctic Edition, based on the very successful Corsa VXR. This will be a Limited edition model with only 500 units being built.
The Corsa VXR Arctic Edition will be unveiled at the London Motor show head lining the group of 3 VXR models all available in white, with the Astra VXR Nurburgring Edition and the new 6.2 litre LS3 engined VXR8.
Priced at £16,995 on the road, each individually numbered Corsa comes with exclusive all-white paint finish, Black 18-inch V-spoke alloys, Black VXR door mirrors, Dark tinted rear glass and Electric glass sunroof, all never seen before on VXR models. The Black and White theme continues inside with white air vent surrounds and the individually numbered, facia-mounted identifier plaque.
The Arctic Edition comes with the same 192PS, 1.6 Turbo engine as the Corsa VXR, with each UK-specification car also coming provided with a Remus Sports Exhaust system.

The Astra VXR Nurburgring Edition sounds awesome with the Remus Exhaust i can only imagine the corsa must sound just as good :D
 
Its a better car than its competition which is the Clio 197 and thats about £17k too isnt it?

I know which id have and it doesnt have a diamond on the bonnet ;)

IIRC one of the car shows (TG/5G) put both round a track and the 197 owned it.
I actually wanted the corsa to win, too.
 
Anyone else misread that and think they were putting the LS engine in the corsa :(

So its a typical limited editon with no real improvement and just a divverent color scheme ;)

Very good looking car and with 192ps I bet it is stupidly quick. Only bad thing about it is that it bears the name 'corsa'.

Sorry but that's my pet hate, it won't be stupidly quick it will be a mildly quick, is is a heavyish moderately powered warm hatch, Stupidly quick translated to rs4, m3 etc up to supercars which become ridiculously quick.

Tiff had the 197 and the VXR around Cadwell Park and the 197 won but it does have more power and it is a handling circuit so it has all the advantages. Still doesn't make the Corsa VXR bad and it certainly wasn't owned.

All superlatives that are subjective and cannot be argued though. Seriously quick can be a 2.0Ltr Mondeo to a Citroen AX Debut driver.
