Lesson plan

VXR

VXR was the branding for the high performance trim specification, used since 2004 for models in many of Vauxhall's car range in the United Kingdom. Holden has also used the VXR badge for some of its high-performance cars such as the Astra VXR, Insignia VXR, and the Commodore VXR. European sourced VXR models were produced and developed by Opel Performance Center, a division of Opel. The VXR8 was produced and developed by Holden Special Vehicles. The VXR brand was closely linked to VX Racing, Vauxhall's British Touring Car Championship team, and the VXR versions of the cars were race track styled models, with high performance capabilities. The VXR brand was quietly discontinued with the end of production of the Corsa E in 2019, despite some of the motoring press speculating about its subsequent return in the years that followed.
