Vauxhall Corsa VXR Arctic Edition with 207Hp

Posted Thursday, Jul 17, 2008 by carried

At the forthcoming British International Motor Show on July 22, Vauxhall will reveal a limited edition version of the Corsa VXR -known as the Opel Corsa OPC in continental Europe. Only 500 Corsa VXR Arctic Editions will be sold in the UK, and each will sport unique Glacier White paintwork combined with dark tinted rear windows and a black-painted roof and door mirrors, new black 18-inch V-spoke alloy wheels wrapped in ultra-low profile 225/35 tires and a Remus Sports exhaust.

Thanks to the Arctic Edition’s Remus Sports exhaust, the VXR’s 1.6-liter turbocharged engine’s output is raised to 207Hp, up by 15Hp compared to the basic version. Vauxhall hasn’t announced performance figures, but don’t expect any significant differences to the stock VXR’s 0-60mph (96km/h) time of 6.8 sec and 140mph (225km/h) top speed. The VXR Artic Edition is priced at £16,995 ($34,000), or £995 more than the standard Corsa VXR.

Ive never really looked into it, but what is the worlds fastest electric car. I quick google search came up in Ohio states bullet car, which is not really what i would call it.

First off I don't see "six years" but rather "possibility of several years between charging"... so maybe they changed it but lets slow down the internet gossip train.

First things first: SSC needs to hire some automotive designers. I'm not contesting its performance or engineering quality, but it looks like high schooler's sketch of a Lamborghini Diablo or a bad kit car inspired by the same.

Driving a car is very energy intensive (you are moving thousands of pounds of weight to transport, most of time, just one person).

Exactly, the more I look at it, the more I like it. Full frontal look is amazing

Looks better in photos vs in person, which should help motivate people to check it out in show rooms.
