Trio of Vauxhalls to head up Motor Show stand

Everything’s all white for Vauxhall! Gracing its stand at the British Motor Show will be a trio of white-painted cars, headed up by a special Arctic Edition of the Corsa VXR.

Boasting a set of 18-inch alloy wheels, electric sunroof and a motorsport-inspired Remus exhaust system, the special Corsa is limited to just 500 units. Thanks to the tuned exhaust, the Arctic Edition’s turbocharged 1.6-litre engine gains an extra 15bhp over the standard Corsa VXR’s 189bhp. All 500 versions of the hot hatch will be painted white, with contrasting black wheels and black painted roof. The car is on sale now, priced at £16,995, a £995 premium over the standard car.

Also taking pride of place on the Vauxhall stand will be the recently upgraded VXR8 super saloon. Powered by the new 425bhp 6.2-litre V8 from the latest Corvette, the fastest Vauxhall in production will present at the ExCeL Centre in a newly introduced shade of white, and fitted with optional 20-inch alloys.

The Astra VXR Nürburgring Edition completes the Vauxhall white out. Launched in April, the 2.0-litre hatch also gains a Remus exhaust, while the exterior and interior are adorned with special graphics commemorating the car’s development at the infamous Nürburgring circuit in Germany.
