Vauxhall vxr8 Review
I read a nice review of the vauxhall xvr8 on malibu.in blog. The review is worth the read and will be summarized below.
Firstly the Vauxhall vxr8 will be the second Australian Muscle Car to come to Britain, following the Monarco (which was exciting due to the excellent performance achieved by mixing the 6 liter V8 vauxhall engine and rear-wheel drive set up).
Since the Vauxhall vxr8 is the second Australian muscle car it had to beat the Monarco, and let me explain why. Firstly it has some similarities since it is powered by the same 6 litre v8 vauxhall engine, however it has been modified and improved to provide greater efficiency, for example the new vauxhall engine can produce 420 bhp and 406 lb-ft torque meaning 0-60 in 4.9 seconds, which the Monarco takes over 5.
The vxr8 has a bit more functionality for the family with 4 doors and more room, although if you wanted a family car buy a ford galaxy or a cheaper car without the 6 litre vauxhall engine, this is a muscle car meant for speed and turning heads. It still manages to do this and has all the boys toys once your in the car from climate control to leather trims and beautiful furnishings.
With the massive vauxhall engine the car should have ample brakes, which it does and can stop the car from 60mph faster than most cars due to the 365mm disc brakes in the front and can even beat cars such as the BMW 5.
One major improvement is the options available including a automatic gearbox option, satellite navigation, 20-inch alloys and even with these extras the car is cheaper than most competitors in its league.
The car drives superbly as you would expect and in my eyes it beats the Monarco so it can only get better.
