I’ve long been an advocate for the Vauxhall VXR8 and the earlier Monaro. If you want V8 power in a muscle car body for relatively little cash in comparison to the competition, then you could do far, far worse than this car. The latest edition from Vauxhall is this car – the VXR8 GTS. It will cost just £54,999 in the UK, making it the lowest priced car with 576bhp!
In its new GTS form the VXR8 offers colossal power and torque in a package that is more technology-led than ever before, yet still retains a ‘loud and proud’ character that no BMW or Mercedes can match. It also enters the UK market with more power than key rivals, such as the BMW M5 and Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG. Want one? Australian or not, this is a properly quick, properly sorted muscle car. As long as you can afford the fuel bills, this is the right car at the right price to permanently put a smile on your face.
