Vauxhall VXR8 Supercharged

The Vauxhall VXR8 Supercharged reaches 60 mph in 4.59 s (100 km/h in 4.77 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 14,946 cars in the set it is the 1,732nd quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 6th quickest of the 164 Vauxhalls here. Its 113.8 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 5 of 7 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Vauxhall VXR8 Supercharged 0-60 time?
The Vauxhall VXR8 Supercharged reaches 60 mph in 4.59 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 1,732nd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Vauxhall VXR8 Supercharged quarter mile time?
12.73 s at 113.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.34 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.02 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Vauxhall VXR8 Supercharged have?
534 bhp and 1,831 kg, which is 291 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 250 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Vauxhall VXR8 Supercharged?
Closest here on pace: MG XPower 5.0 V8 405 (4.61 s), Rolls-Royce Wraith (4.56 s), Jaguar XJR (2010) (4.55 s). Each one can be raced against the Vauxhall VXR8 Supercharged in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
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.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-16. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
