Vauxhall VXR8 Bathurst S specs

At the same time, we had an equivalent. The Cadillac CTS-V2.

Change home country to Australia

WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK IS BETTER? THIS OR THE BMW M5 (E60 M5)

Pontiac would still be around if they had brought this over to the U.S sooner.

When they killed off the trans-am they lost the only car in their line up geared for performance. Too bad they brought these over too late.. right before they went under. This is a heck of a car for the price.

This car is made and developed in Australia. Its called the HSV Clubsport R8 by Holden. There is several variants also called the Holden Commodore SS.

Humph...
Proudly made in Australia.
May contain parts imported, designed and built everywhere else though.
The VE commodore is a huge pinch of this and that from about 7 different cars.

I am just belly-aching though, most manufacturers do the same. This FORD at heart bloke wouldn't mind the Walkinshaw or Senator though ;)
The VZ Calais my wife has is a piece of brilliant engineering. One small hiccup though, if there's a good breeze about the wind affects it badly at around 95kmh

only car with more than 550bhp for less than 45k

Proudly made in Australia and we sent it to UK so you guys can enjoy some real grunt too.

if they could try and make it easier to drive then it would be faster than a fq400. but still such a great car

yes it is.

brill car

@ vince, thats tru i mean if its made in the uk than y is it named after an aussie racetrack?

Its an Australian VE commodore. True aussie grunt. In Australia this would be the GTO model, or a HRT perfomance model. It goes for about 80 to 90K Aust$

Try using ALT 0163 and you will get the pound sign £

aint one on mine either:) lol

45K isnt so bad seeing that an m5 sells for 60K

(Theirs no pounds symbol on my keyboard)

£45,000, are you serious?? ONLY that much for ALL that damned HorsePower?? can that really be true bumrush? or are you gettin ma hopes up?

£45,000 for only 560Bhp...what is the world comming too:)
