Vauxhall VXR8

Thunder and lightning-quick – the VXR8

A few key facts tell you everything you need to know about Vauxhall’s thunderous flagship – it has a 6.2-litre V8 engine generating 425bhp, while monstrous disc brakes bring it to a standstill from 60mph in just 36 metres.

Behind those headline figures, you might be surprised to discover a perfectly practical four-door saloon, albeit one bristling with menace and capable of handling as well as it accelerates – to 60mph in under five seconds.
