500bhp limited-edition VXR500 Monaro

Featured Replies

Vauxhall unveils two new additions to its swelling VXR stable.

The limited-edition VXR500 is based on the standard 6.0-litre Monaro VXR, but uses a new supercharger to crank up the power from around 400bhp to almost 500bhp, with torque up from 530Nm to a quite pant-wetting 677Nm. There’s also an upgraded fuel system, clutch revision and bespoke engine tune, all meaning the Monaro VXR500 can hit 60mph in less than 5 seconds and will do something like 190mph.

The Monaro is one on the greatest cars on British roads – and with a £35,995 price tag it’s phenomenal value, seeing as it’s half the price of the next cheapest 500bhp+ car. Damned practical and great to drive, too.

Probably because it wasn't uncommon to see dealers sell this thing below MSRP just because it looks like a Sunfire on BALCO...

:nono: ... Sad how no one in North America took notice of the GTO...

Because it's not really a GM product, but a tuner model available from only one dealer in the UK.

That supercharger whine on top of the already aggressive V8 is intoxicating. :alcoholic:
