Vauxhall VXR8 Estate
This is a concept car from General Motors shown for the UK market, based on what is called in the UK the Vauxhall VXR8, itself a version of the Pontiac G8, which is a rebadged Holden HSV Clubsport R8, designed and built in Australia.
It utilises the 6.2 litre V8 LS3 engine from GM’s line-up, and in this guise features 425 horsepower, giving a 0-60 time of under 5 seconds and rear wheel drive, all for half the price of the equivalent BMW M5.
The car was officially being shown in concept guise in 2008, despite being production ready, and no word has been given if Vauxhall will ever release the car for the UK market.
