2011 Vauxhall VXR8 is the perfect gift for this Christmas

Vauxhall’s next-generation VXR8 that was shown earlier this week has been refined and has received a boost to its performance. The VXR8 is expected to arrive in U.K. dealerships in March 2011. The first VXR8 had used the Clubsport R8 but the new model -- the Holden Special Vehicles-built super-saloon – now has the Australian firm’s GTS model as its base.

Vauxhall’s flagship will still be powered by 6.2-litre Chevrolet V8 engine, which delivers 425bhp, with 406lb ft, enabling it to sprint from zero to 60mph in 4.9sec and reach a top speed of 155mph.

Now they are calling it a Chevrolet V8. Interesting. Wonder if it is the same V8 as the Camaro, or if there are revisions. Most importantly, we need this car in the US.

No, the G8 is the perfect Christmas gift. Although this thing is powerful, aesthetically speaking, it look like a joke with all that gobbledygook on it.

It actually doen't look any different to the Holden that it is based on (the HSV GTS).

It is the LS3 engine found in the Camaro, Corvette etc..

I think that this is a headline that we ALL can agree on!

They have ruined the front end styling. Grille got too many angles and LEDs look like an afterthought.
