Engine & Performance
The Vauxhall VXR8 houses a modern supercharged LSA V8. The engine delivers 576 horsepower and a torque of 545 lb-ft.

The new Vauxhall VXR8's Eaton supercharger has 9 psi boot, 1.9 liters per revolution and 4 lobe rotors. This gives the VXR8 with much stronger and linear performance compared to its entire rev-range.

The front of the car features bold graphics and shallow-ramp angles that emphasize the stance and width. In order to deliver an aggressive look the focal point is a twin-nose grille which serves the purpose of enabling a large air intake that is needed for cooling the LSA V8.
At the rear, it has impressive LED tails lamps while the diffuser has quad-exhaust outlets with a shadow chrome finish.
Interior
Inside the cabin, design has been upgraded. With new instrument-cluster, centre console, gauges, door trims and appliqués all which combine to give the VXR8 a more premium feel and look.

Some of the interesting things in this car include automatic park assist, rear park-assist, reversing camera, and side-blind zone alert with reverse-traffic alert and passive button push start.
