Live the changeVauxhall VXR Range
Advances in automotive technology have diluted the modern driving experience to the point where many of today’s ‘performance’ cars have become
soul-less and uncommunicative. You feel like you’re not actually driving. You feel like you’re being driven: you feel disconnected.
VXR changes all that. VXR is here to reconnect the driver to the road – not with a wire, but with a heartbeat. There’s now a range of six VXR models, every one
a focused performance machine, the kind you want to be driving if you like to get up in the night for a blast, just for the hell of it. If you are that type of person,
then you’ve got VXR in your blood. You just might not know it yet.

Vauxhall Corsa VXR
It’s fast. It’s fun. It’s Corsa VXR. With 192PS and 260+Nm of torque.
Or enough to push this lightweight three-door from 0-60mph in
6.8 seconds. Add a lowered and uprated chassis with Electronic Stability
Programme, Traction Control and huge disc brakes all round and it
clearly means business. Driver focused and spectator friendly.
You know the form. Point and shoot.

Corsa VXR Engineering
Whichever way you look at it, Corsa VXR doesn’t hang around. The lightweight 1.6 litre turbo puts out 192PS and the software controlled overboost
increases max torque to 260+Nm for safer overtaking. No worries in the chassis department either. With lowered sports suspension, bigger
brakes and switchable Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) with traction control – it’s all designed for rapid, safe progress.
Vauxhall Astra VXR
Let’s get straight to the point. No ifs or buts. Astra VXR is
Vauxhall’s hottest hatch... ever. Think 240PS and 320Nm
with 0-60mph in 6.2 seconds. Think 2.0i 16v Turbo, six-speed
gearbox and the low, flat ride of a genuine performance car.
And on top of all that – drop-dead styling that went straight
from concept car to showroom without any compromise.
If you’ve got buttons, Astra VXR will press them. Hard.

Vauxhall Meriva VXR
Who said serious performance and family-style practicality don’t mix?
Quite simply, this is the clever and versatile MPV for anyone who loves
driving. Check out the unique VXR styling. Lowered and uprated sports
suspension. Not to mention the sensational, turbocharged 180PS
1.6i 16v engine. Truth is, you won’t find a more rapid car in this class.
But then, with Meriva VXR, that’s only half the story.

Vauxhall Zafira VXR
Having a family didn’t stop you having a life. You still ride, play, ski or
whatever it is that sets you free. And you still want to drive, not just
travel. What you need is a seven-seat performance car. Cue Zafira
VXR. Same compact MPV format. But a whole new shape. And a
whole new attitude. No other MPV looks this good. And no surprise,
this is one of the quickest production MPVs ever made. Enough said?
Zafira VXR Engineering
Excuses. A word that doesn’t figure in the Zafira VXR vocabulary. Make no mistake, this VXR features all the innovation you’ve come to expect from a
Zafira with added testosterone. Like serious style, a six-speed gearbox, 18-inch alloy wheels and lowered sports suspension. Then there’s that 2.0i 16v
turbocharged engine. The same 240PS, 320Nm unit that you’ll find in Astra VXR, Vauxhall’s hottest ever hot hatch. The Zafira VXR. Expect no excuses.
Vauxhall Vectra VXR
There’s no doubting the Vectra VXR’s looks. But let’s
get under the skin. The 2.8i V6 comes with variable valve
timing and a twin-scroll turbo for lightning response and
heavyweight torque. 355Nm maximum – enough to propel
this VXR from 50 to 70mph in around 7.6 seconds – in fifth
gear. Instant punch, always there when you need it most.

Vauxhall VXR
VXR takes the experience, knowledge and passion gained from racing
and crystallises it into a range of high performance road cars.
A VXR driver will have a complete visceral experience with the car.
The driver will feel it, see it, hear it. It’s that moment the VXR
communicates precisely how much grip is left, allowing the driver to
balance the car with exact, measured, controlled responses. It takes
commitment, expertise and depth of resource to create cars like this
and VXR is an important part of GM’s global performance family. From
HSV in Australia to OPC in Germany, together with consultants Lotus
and the Triple Eight racing team, it’s a family that has created some of
the world’s finest driver’s cars; the family who go racing – and win.
Over the last five years, the VXRacing team has been hugely successful
in the BTCC, winning nine of the ten available driver and manufacturer
titles, and clocking up its 100th BTCC win along the way.
For the 2007 Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship season,
VXR8 VXRacing unveiled new Vectra race cars with hugely experienced
drivers Fabrizio Giovanardi and Tom Chilton in the hot seats. As the
season has unfolded, wins at Rockingham, Thruxton and Snetterton
have proved their commitment to increase the team’s unrivalled
championship winning record.
The engineers who develop these cars live, breathe and sleep
performance cars. They know how to utilise the latest advances in
automotive technology in a way that won’t detach the driver from the
essential buzz of performance driving. They’re the kind of people you
want developing your next performance car. Iconic performance and
racing cars are part of Vauxhall’s heritage and VXR is the latest strand
to this DNA.
VXR. The heart and soul of performance.
