Vauxhall VXR8 Supercharged

The Vauxhall VXR8 Supercharged reaches 60 mph in 4.59 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 12.73 s, tripping the lights at 113.8 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.02 s and the eighth mile in 8.34 s, reaching 100 mph in 9.75 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 VXR8 Supercharged

The 2007 Vauxhall VXR8 Supercharged is a rear-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,831 kg with 534 bhp, which works out at 291 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 291 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.02 s. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 1,152nd quickest to 60 mph, and the 3rd quickest of the 11 Vauxhalls here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 113.8 mph, the 825th highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 5 of 7 published acceleration figures for this car.

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 Vauxhall VXR8 Supercharged is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 5 of its 7 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
