New limited edition Corsa VXR "Blue"

Vauxhall have announced the launch of the limited edition Corsa VXR "Blue," to join the new "Eagle-Eye" Corsa range. Priced at £19,425 (inc. 20% VAT), the Blue features new styling details (sculpted front spoiler, deep-set fog lamps, aggressive front end, wide grille etc.), additional kit as standard (18-inch rims, dark-tint glass, Recaro seats, bespoke interior vents/leather-steering wheel etc.) and a flashy Arden Blue paint job. The 1.6-litre lightweight engine will produce 192PS and still features an "overboost" facility to increase maximum torque to 260+Nm – netting a 0-60mph dash in 6.8s and impressive 140mph V-max. It also boasts lowered sports suspension, uprated brakes and switchable ESP. Available now to order and at the dealers late February. Who said the hot hatch era was over?
