No idea if this is a repost as I have been on here since October AND this was in Auto Express' November issue.

"Capable of 186mph, it’s been built by German tuning legend EDS as part of a project involving race car firm 888. With 252bhp and 355Nm of torque, the stan-dard motor is already potent. But for those who want supercar performance, EDS has fitted a new turbocharger, worked its magic on the ECU, and modified the ex-haust to generate 340bhp and 500Nm. "

Reading the article, I thought it sounded pretty interesting - I just wonder what Clarkson will have to say about it

It IS nice but out of all the vxr's i still think the Astra Coupe 888 still felt and looked more special than the others.

Im sure someone will tell me wrong due to cumbustion pressure+fuel regulation-pising in the wind=ph7

Clarkson will probably go full pelt down a straight then try and turn a 90deg corner with his foot still flat to the floor and complain about how in understeers............again
