Go to: Vauxhall VXR8 GTS review
  • Vauxhall VXR8 GTS - front cornering

    The Vauxhall VXR8 is an old-school muscle car with a huge body and powerful engine.

  • Vauxhall VXR8 GTS - rear tracking

    Vauxhall have now made an automatic gearbox available in the VXR8 for the first time.

  • Vauxhall VXR8 GTS - interior

    The cabin is huge and practical, yet poor quality and ugly.

  • Vauxhall VXR8 GTS - rear seats

    Adaptive dampers make the VXR8 surprisingly comfortable without compromising body control.

  • Vauxhall VXR8 GTS - boot

    The automatic gearbox adds £1,725 to the price.

  • Vauxhall VXR8 GTS - front tracking

    Vauxhall claims the automatic VXR8 will blast from 0-62mph in just 4.2 seconds, the same as the manual car.

  • Vauxhall VXR8 GTS - wheel

    The supercharged V8 develops 576bhp and puts it to the road through the rear wheels.

  • Vauxhall VXR8 GTS - headrest

    The VXR8 features frightening running costs, with even 20mpg a distant dream.

  • Vauxhall VXR8 GTS - centre console

    The torque converter auto takes the edge off the supercharged V8's responses.

  • Vauxhall VXR8 GTS - engine

    The Vauxhall VXR8 boasts 6.2-litres of supercharged V8 in an engine borrowed from the Chevrolet Camaro.

  • Vauxhall VXR8 GTS - rear static

    At £56,000, the previously bargain VXR8 is starting to look a little expensive.
