About the Vauxhall VXR8 GTS Gen-F
The Vauxhall VXR8 GTS represents the final evolution of the Holden Commodore-based super saloon in the UK. Powered by the LSA V8 from the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, it delivered supercar-rivalling performance at a fraction of the cost of German rivals like the BMW M5. It features Magnetic Ride Control and torque vectoring to manage its immense power, though it remains a raw, old-school driving experience. As one of the last V8-powered Vauxhalls, it has secured a cult following among British enthusiasts for its 'bang-for-buck' appeal and thunderous soundtrack.

Vauxhall VXR8 GTS Gen-F fun facts
- The VXR8 GTS was the most powerful car ever sold by Vauxhall until the arrival of the limited-run GTS-R in 2017.
- Its LSA engine requires 75% more cooling air than the previous naturally aspirated LS3, necessitating the GTS's distinctive 'twin-nostril' front grille.
- Despite its British branding, the car was entirely engineered and built by Holden Special Vehicles (HSV) in Australia.
