Opel Vectra VXR

The Opel Vectra VXR reaches 60 mph in 5.56 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 13.95 s, tripping the lights at 104.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.37 s and the eighth mile in 9.15 s, reaching 100 mph in 12.92 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the Vectra VXR

The 2006 Opel Vectra VXR is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,370 kg with 280 bhp, which works out at 205 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.37 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 1,710th quickest to 60 mph, and the 5th quickest of the 34 Opels here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 104.0 mph, the 1,400th highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 7 of 9 published acceleration figures for this car.

13.95 s at 104.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.15 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.37 s.
How much power does the Opel Vectra VXR have?
280 bhp and 1,370 kg, which is 205 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 261 km/h.
What cars are comparable to the Opel Vectra VXR?
Closest here on pace: Plymouth Prowler facelift (5.58 s), Hyundai I30N Performance Mk III (5.45 s), Renault Megane RS Mk III (5.53 s). Each one can be raced against the Opel Vectra VXR in the panel at the top of this page.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Opel Vectra VXR is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 7 of its 9 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
