Muscle car today: Vauxhall VXR8 upgraded to Corvette engine

Vauxhall VXR8

The_current Vauxhall VXR8 is powered by a e 6.0-litre V8 engine. But this is not enough to compete with sports-cars like Audi RS6, BMW M5 and Mercedes E63 AMG. The bran-new Vauxhall VXR8 will launch with a 7.0-litre Corvette engine to release its power. The Vauxhall VXR8 will arrive in September with price around £55,000.

The performance of this powered Vauxhall VXR8: 0-60mph in around 4.5 seconds, and go on to an electronically limited top speed of 155mph. Seems the Australian Muscle car to be ready on the market and compete with the sports-cars. It not only faster in 0-60mph now, we expect that with this upgrade the Vauhall VXR8 will perform well in quarter mile and even longer.
