Vauxhall VXR8

The Vauxhall VXR8 reaches 60 mph in 5.39 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 13.71 s, tripping the lights at 102.8 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.19 s and the eighth mile in 8.94 s, reaching 100 mph in 12.38 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

The 2007 Vauxhall VXR8 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,812 kg with 412 bhp, which works out at 227 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 227 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.19 s. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 1,611th quickest to 60 mph, and the 4th quickest of the 11 Vauxhalls here. Its 102.8 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 7 of 7 published acceleration figures for this car.

13.71 s at 102.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.94 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.19 s.
How much power does the Vauxhall VXR8 have?
412 bhp and 1,812 kg, which is 227 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 250 km/h.
What cars are comparable to the Vauxhall VXR8?
Closest here on pace: Infiniti G37 Sedan (5.32 s), Lister Jaguar XJ-S 6.0 (5.52 s), Jaguar F-Pace 3.0 S (5.33 s). Each one can be raced against the Vauxhall VXR8 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 Vauxhall VXR8 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 7 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 2026-09-01. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
