Vectra Saloon and Estate VXR

These already powerful models have been given an extra oomph with Vauxhall’s performance flagship VXR treatment.

With a power output of 280PS, the 2.8-litre V6 turbo engine sprints from 0-60mph in just 6.1 seconds for the hatchback and 6.3 seconds for the estate.

A tweaked chassis for more dynamic handling includes modified spring and shock absorber settings and correspondingly retuned IDSPlus2 chassis control software to optimise the pitch, roll and turn-in characteristics to make the most of the increased performance without ruining the Vectra VXR’s impressive refinement.
