Vauxhall VXR8

The Vauxhall VXR8 reaches 60 mph in 5.39 s (100 km/h in 5.63 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 14,946 cars in the set it is the 2,565th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 7th quickest of the 164 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.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.

Questions

What is the Vauxhall VXR8 0-60 time?
The Vauxhall VXR8 reaches 60 mph in 5.39 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 2,565th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Vauxhall VXR8 quarter mile time?
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. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
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. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Vauxhall VXR8?
Closest here on pace: Jaguar XF SV8 Mk I (5.38 s), Jaguar Super V8 Portfolio (5.46 s), Maserati Quattroporte IV Evoluzione (5.43 s). Each one can be raced against the Vauxhall VXR8 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 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.
