Speaking to a mate who works for vauxhall yesterday, he was telling me about the new astra that will be out sometime next year (Nothing intresting there) but he then went on to tell me how the new vxr will be at least 250bhp and will also be 4 wheel drive, something vauxhall think will rival the new rs. That got me thinking, we all know that the vauxhall will be shite and that the 4 wheel drive system won't work and even if it did, it would without doubt fall apart at the first sign of any abuse, but maybe this step forward by vauxhall might push ford into making the next generation rs all wheel drive too. Fingers crossed

 

Its called the VXR-R ,0-60 of 5.9 i believe

 

sounds like they copied honda type r r

 

wasn't the type r r Ł60,000 or something like that.

 

The astra VXR-R does 0-60 in 4.9 and 170mph they are very quick. http://www.thorneymotorsport.co.uk/t...ra_VXR-R.shtml

the corsa VXR-r does 0-60 in 5.6 and 160mph very quick cars.

That's not it, that just like vauxhalls version of the wolf st 330 or something, this 4x4 astra will be the new shape not yet out, as i'm led to believe anyway.

 

yer i heard about them as well someone just mentioned the vxr r but when they revealed the new 5dr astra they bumped up the power they want to 270 or something prob as a response to the focus.
