Vauxhall VXR8 419Hp 6.0 V8

Americans may seem quite contempt with the 362Hp strong, Holden Commodore SS based Pontiac G8 GT, but truth is the Brits are going to get all the serious “OZ” fun. See, GM decided to hand over to Vauxhall the strongest version of the Commodore to date, the HSV Clubsport R8. Dubbed VXR8, Vauxhall’s muscle car will go on sale in the UK sometime in April. It wears a 419Hp (307 KW) 6.0-liter V8 and it will be offered with two transmissions, a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed sequential automatic. According to HSV, the R8 manages a 4,92 sec time for the 0 to 100 km/h (62mph) sprint.

It is the same as the upcoming Pontiac G8 but with a bit more power.
