The Corsa VXR will use the new 1.6 16v Turbo engine which is being used in the new meriva VXR - but it WONT be the 180bhp varient - but i cant say anymore

It will be a "Supposed" 200bhp version but this is Vauxhall we're talking about, they are unlikely to release a 1.6 16v Turbo with 200bhp in a small hatch, 180bhp will be quite enough.

They have to make it at least 200bhp to compete with the new Fiat Punto supermini....which will push something like 240BHP. Which is just mad.

A Vauxhall spokesman told us: "We anticipate 70 per cent of VXRs will be sold in the UK.
Seeing as Vauxhall does not exist anywhere else, I should be very surprised if less than 99 per cent will be sold in the UK...

1.6 16 valve turbo, around 160bhp.
Looks like a mini astra and also similar to the new fiat punto

You're all wrong. My Dads, mates uncles sisters boyfriends brother said that the new Corsa will have a Rolls Royce Merlin engine in it, similar to that found in Spitfires, only slightly de-tuned.

Personally I'd wait for the Corsa VXR but I cant imagine it being out for at least another year from now if the normal models are only being launched in September. Unless the VXR is in the line up to start with

corsa vxr will be massively overpriced imho
and for the money you will spend on it you could get a much better car,just my opinion though

they're going to be price'd around £15k aren't they?
so what should i get new shape astra sri, 1.8 and save on insurance, astra vxr which will leave totally skinto or wait for the corsa vxr... which from what iv read will be a 1.6 engine which is supercharged just what iv read...
but like matty said, i'll be waiting a long time

15k for a corsa think of all the possible cars you could buy for 15k

you mean like 240bhp in a FWD Astra VXR i find the info of 200bhp in a Corsa quite feasible
