I thought the corsa VXR had the record? Thing is, generally for most of these 'manufacturer' laps, it's who's got the biggest budget really... i.e. can afford to close the track, hire a pro racing driver, do loads of practice laps and then go full all out ...
As I say, I'm not dissing the car... it's nice. I just think the 'nurburgring' name is being used to try to make it a lot cooler / unique - as a lot of people are interested in / know what nurburgring is and what it means to have conquered it.

I think they should all have a lap of the Nurburgring before being delivered to the customer....

Then your sitting in the house on aTuesday afternoon at 2pm watching Judge Judy on tv while waiting on your new Astra to be delivered.
Then the phone goes and your told there is a delay with your car because an apprentice has buried your Astra in a tyre wall on the Nurburgring

The normal VXR looks much better. Nurburgring version looks tacky

That's true. Parked side by side in my local Vauxhall dealership, I'd take the standard VXR every time.

i had the pleasure of seeing one of these pass me on the road last week.
oh my
the exhaust was unbelieveably loud, popping and just sounded like satan on crack
the colour is perfect and stands out like crazy.
although he had the normal 19'' VXR wheels on
