    Default Vauxhall VXR8 - Taking it to the Europeans?

    Now that the HSV Clubsport R8 is heading to Europe, how will it fair?

    Can the VXR8/Clubsport R8 be competitive with the europeans, in Europe?

    Pity its not being sent over with the 7.0L LS7 Anyway heres some info for you all....

    Will be released by Vauxhall VXR in July this year as the VXR8, priced at 34,995 pounds. It has 420hp/313kw and does 0-60mph in 4.9 seconds.

    365mm front brakes, able to stop quicker than a BMW M5 or Lamborghini Murcielago.

    Oh and the Supercharged version will be released later in the year

    yeh damn right we should get a performance version of the hsv's here....mmm supercharged clubby....mmm...400kw lol

    we have a lack of different engines here hey....for example there should be a supercharged v8 as an option for the hsv's and a super alloytech as an option on the holdens....i rekon it would prolly boost sales too
    Check out my ride here...E Series Chubby
