[quote][i]Originally posted by djgritt[/i] Went to a VXR Power Events Pre-Release preview day locally today - at the Haynes Motor Museum (only 15 mins away, would have been rude not to - especially as attending with VXR also got me free Museum Entry and free Lunch... :D ) Vauxhall and the VXR Brand team are hosting 3 preview days for it, this was the first - it's being trailered up to Glasgow tonight for the second day tomorrow... It is the first UK Delivered, Vauxhall Spec Corsa (E) VXR (Opel versions have some differences in equipment) - and was presented in the new shade of Flash Blue - similar to Arden, but a bit darker/richer - VERY nice colour TBH. It has the 205PS Engine from the current Clubsport model - this is now the 'standard' VXR Engine going forwards. It has a Twin Exit Remus Exhaust. It retains the Recaro Shell-back Seats, and Flat Bottom steering wheel. Koni FSD Shocks are standard (Frequency Selective Damping) As standard (UK Market) it also now comes with a Heated Windscreen, Bi-Xenon Headlamps, and the Intellilink Entertainment system. This car also had a 'Carbon Appearance' pack - fake Carbon Mirror Caps and Grille Bar - not sold on this TBH. This specific car also had the Panoramic Sunroof option, as well as the new Performance Package option - this sees it effectively being upgraded to the previous Nurburgring spec, with a couple of further updates; - Brembo 4-Piston brakes (larger Discs than the previous Nurburgring Edition) - Retuned Koni FSDs with a more 'aggressive' setup - Drexler Mechanical LSD - 18" Wheels with Michelin Pilot Sports. I had a good look around - the interior quality is improved over the Corsa D - layout is much better, material quality seems improved, better equipment by far. Cabin space seems identical to the Corsa D, but this was expected - the shell is a reworked Corsa D anyway.

He wouldn't discuss numbers today though. Shame... :look: He advised through a presentation that Vauxhall had sole over 9000 Corsa VXRs since release so far (all variant/editions) - hopefully this one is successful too. It will be available to trial on the VXR Power Event track days later this year too... [/quote]
