In the News (Fri 17 Feb 12)

  
  Vauxhall Corsa VXR (2007-) | Features | 4car | channel4.com
Approaching the Corsa VXR from behind doesn't lead to the best of first impressions: with its squat wheel-to-each-corner stance, broad wheel arches and hind quarters, and gaping hole of a centrally positioned big-bore exhaust pipe, it resembles nothing so much as a bull terrier's bottom.
Butched-up Corsas are so often a case of all show and no go; base 1.2s fitted with half the contents of the Demon Tweeks catalogue in an attempt to make an impression on the streets without being totally uninsurable for a young (male) driver.
The VXR, however, is the real deal, with a turbocharged 1.6-litre engine developing 189bhp and 170lb-ft of torque, and an extra 27lb-ft available momentarily on overboost.

  drive blog: Is HSV's VXR hot hatch a true HSV?
VXR's only real contender is the Mazda 3 MPS and from everything I've read it has the same FWD issues as teh VXR.
The VXR is a try-hard wannabe that has nowhere near the spirit of Holden Special Vehicles.
VXR is a torque steer monster, poor man whoever drives it.

  More Powerful VXR Vauxhalls
The regular Monaro VXR produces 397bhp from its six-litre V8 engine, and you might have thought that would be enough to be getting on with.
In the VXR 500, though, the same unit is supercharged to produce 493bhp (the "500" in its name refers to the power output in PS), while the maximum torque figure shoots up to 499lb/ft.
Official performance figures are not yet available, but Vauxhall reckons the VXR 500 will manage the 0-60mph sprint in under five seconds and go on to a top speed somewhere to the north of 180mph - sturdy stuff for a car that costs £35,995 on the road.

 Vauxhall Astra VXR - Ultimatecarpage.com forums
The VXR badge is only applied to cars that take performance and driver appeal to new extremes, with a chassis that can excite and stimulate on the daily drive to work, not just on track days.
The VXR’s designers had it easy to start with, not least because New Astra is the best-looking car in its class, and the three-door Sport Hatch took Astra’s sleekness even further.
That gives the VXR enough poke to sprint from 0-60mph in a neck-jerking 6.2 seconds, and on to a top speed of 152mph — the sort of performance which was previously the preserve of supercars.

 Auto Trader Ten Point Test: Vauxhall Meriva VXR - Auto Trader UK — Features - News and Reviews Hub
Combining the performance of a card-carrying hot hatch with the practicality of a mini-MPV, the Meriva VXR is unlike anything else on the road.
The VXR moniker is only given to the hottest Vauxhalls, so we knew it would be a strong performer.
The VXR comes with all the safety kit you'd expect, including six airbags, active headrests, ABS with brakeforce distribution and brake assist and collapsible pedals that reduce the chances of leg injury in a crash.

The new Vauxhall Zafira VXR is available to order now from £21,995, with first deliveries expected in October.
The 240PS, 320Nm 2.0-litre turbo engine is shared with the Astra VXR and enables a 0-60 mph time of 7.2 seconds, en-route to a top speed of 144mph, which, says Vauxhall, makes it the fastest production MPV in Britain.
The VXR uses the Flex7 seating system, which allows the Zafira to be turned from a seven to a six, five, four, three or two-seater in a matter of seconds without having to remove or stow away the seats.

Powerful as the VXR may be, however, we didn’t manage to match Vauxhall’s acceleration or top speed claims at the test track.
The VXR gets rebound springs on the dampers, which probably helps the primary ride, but it copes with potholes and surface imperfections adequately, too.
Other interior changes unique to the VXR are the steering wheel, dials, some carbon-effect inserts and a new gearknob.

And the VXR was on squidgy, undersized winter tyres.
An Astra VXR tugs this way and that when you use its ample thrust on an uneven road, and can be a bombast of sensory overload.
A Zafira VXR is tall, being a not-so-compact MPV, very firmly sprung to keep the body from leaning, and somehow manages to feel both stiff-legged and Astra-fractious.

But now the meat of the VXR range is arriving: first the Astra VXR, now the Vectra tested here and next will be the Zafira and Meriva.
In keeping with the hotshoe reputation that Vauxhall is trying to endow the VXR brand with, the Vectra version gets rather a lot of power, courtesy of a 2.8-litre, turbocharged V6 engine.
As you’d expect for a range-topping Vauxhall, equipment levels are generous and, at £23,995 for the saloon and £24,995 for the estate, the Vectra VXR offers plenty of power per pound.

 BTCC: VXR: What is VXR?: Latest Motorsport news, results with radio player
The whole plan with the VXR brand was to introduce it in motorsport, which we did in 2002.
Last week, we launched the VXR Performance Centre, which is for those guys, the real enthusiasts out there, who want to take their car to another level of performance.
With the performance centre, we'll take a VXR or the SRi range and we'll be improving both performance and handling – not so much the looks because we think they are aggressive enough as it is. Certainly, the performance and ride and handling side of things will become more 'track biased'.

 Vauxhall Astra VXR --- MotorBar Road Test
Vauxhall says the VXR badge is only given to models with a race-bred DNA developed from the British Touring Car Championship successes.
I suppose the two main rivals in the hot-hatch sector to the Astra VXR are the VW Golf GTI/R32 and the new Ford Focus ST. The Golf is probably the best compromise between quality, refinement and performance.
The Astra VXR costs £18,995, but the real numbers of interest are the power output (237bhp), the performance (the 0-62mph dash is covered in 6.2 seconds) and the top speed — 152mph.
