Updated Vauxhall VXR8

Closely akin to the recently unveiled Holden W427, it looks like the Vauxhall VXR8 is going to receive the heart of the beast. That is the 570HP 7.0L Corvette Z06 engine.

The flagship edition of the Vauxhall VXR8 is will be priced around £55,000 ($110,000) when it goes on sale later this summer and looks like the perfect complement to Vauxhall’s fresh new look.

Estimates suggest that the VXR8 will hit 60mph from a standstill in approximately 4.5 seconds and easily reach its electronically-governed 155 mph. The VXR8 will likely never be seen in the rear view mirrors of the Audi RS6 and the BMW M5, but is the price justified?
