The powerhouse Vauxhall...
The powerhouse Vauxhall VXR8 is about to get even faster ò€“ and this time, it has the storming V10-engined Audi RS6 firmly in its sights.
The Luton brand is currently finalising plans to offer a new 7.0-litre version of its supercar-chasing saloon, which will be based on the Australian Holden HSV unveiled at last monthò€™s Melbourne Motor Show. And the British bruiser is expected to be badged the W427 when it arrives in UK dealers in September, carrying a price tag of around Ò£55,000.
Although neither Holden nor Vauxhall has revealed a power output for the new machine, unconfirmed reports from Australia claim the engine ò€“ which is borrowed from the latest Corvette Z06 ò€“ will deliver a massive 570bhp and 640Nm of torque to the rear wheels.
As a result, the car would cover 0-60mph in around 4.5 seconds, and go on to an electronically limited top speed of 155mph. These performance figures would put the four-door in the same territory as the RS6, BMW M5 and Mercedes E63 AMG. As with the 6.0-litre standard model, the newcomer has been engineered by Tom Walkinshaw Racing ò€“ hence the use of the letter W in the new W427 name.
The motorsport expert will also prepare the car for British roads with bespoke suspension settings. Australian models get General Motorsò€™ latest Magnetic Ride Suspension, but top brass have yet to confirm whether UK versions will be equipped with the same system.
A spokesman for Vauxhall told Auto Express; ò€œWe are in the early stages with development. The car is going to feature a number of components developed from the racing version, and we need to make sure that everything is tested properly before customer deliveries start.ò€
