Vauxhall Astra VXR Nurburgring (2008) CAR review

Ben Oliver, 09 June 2008 09:00

The new Vauxhall Astra VXR Nurburgring Edition costs over £1500 more than the standard – and already excellent – VXR. The changes seem limited to some new wheels and tyres, another 15bhp and endless Nurburgring badging that reflects the obsession that carmakers – and some car magazines – have with the lengthy, lethal German racetrack. Is the Astra VXR Nurburgring ...

Vauxhall VXR8 Carbon CAR review

Jonny Smith, 17 March 2008 11:07

For when (if?) a 530bhp supercharged Vauxhall VXR8 isn’t enough, UK V8 gurus Wortec bring you this 600+ bhp 600 lb ft monster; the Carbon Edition. Let the tyre torture begin… This VXR8 Carbon Edition looks a bit tough This is the VXR8 brought to you by the creators of the Monaro VXR500 - Wortec. Put simply, the Carbon Edition offers ...

Vauxhall Agila 1.2 CAR review

Glen Waddington, 22 February 2008 11:53

Gone is the felled phonebox look of the old Agila. Here is the newest, smallest member of Vauxhall’s ‘monocab’ family, slotting below the Meriva and Zafira and offering a budget-conscious, utility-focused baby sibling to the Corsa. But haven’t we seen it before? I thought the Agila looked familiar… Certainly does. That’s because the new Agila is really a rebadged Suzuki Splash. Sheet ...

Vauxhall VXR8 Supercharged CAR review

Anonymous, 16 October 2007 12:41

So Vauxhall reckons the VXR8 isn't fast enough? You got it in one. Vauxhall's UK performance arm VXR (sister division to the Continentals' OPC Opel brand) is becoming seemingly more power-crazed by the day. It's all very out of keeping with the caring, sharing zeitgeist - think tarmac-rubbing spoilers, lairy exhausts and horsepower adulation. VXR's staple diet is the hot ...

GM Hy-Wire CAR review

Anonymous, 06 June 2007 07:31

The Hy-wire? Sounds like a circus act… Don't be fooled. It’s a very significant bit of technology. When General Motors unveiled AUTOnomy at the Detroit Motor Show five years ago, the oddly compelling hydrogen-powered chassis that looked more like an overblown and high-tech skateboard than the saviour of the motor industry, was seen as something as a watershed moment. Why? ...

Vauxhall Corsa VXR CAR review

Anonymous, 13 March 2007 09:53

Not exactly the shy and retiring sort is it? Come on, this is a product of Vauxhall’s VXR division, a sub-marque that makes a point of being ruder, lairier and louder than any of its rivals. So while Renault kept things decidedly low-key for its Clio 197, Vauxhall is taking the opposite tack with the hottest Corsa. Spoilers, skirts, massive ...
