like the corsa OPC we have been waiting for???
to be fair, vauxhall / opel / GM really do know their tractor engines. I could see that becoming a reality too.
Just think of the fun all those reps will be having ragging about in those!

The Vectra VXR is going to be a 6 cylinder Turbo pushing 270bhp.
The OPC wont become production but we may see a very quick diesel

Vauxhall have Dropped the GSi banner - replaced with VXR
OPC = Opel performance centre who were reponsible for the Zafira GSi.
Vauxhall use ideas from them to create cars.

VXR sounds better but the styling of that opc is spot on! i just hope that the vxr will be 4wd or rwd, any more details on this?
