Cool

Spec:
0-60 - under 4s
0-100 - 9.75s

Apparently 240bhp at the moment, and around 60 kilos lighter than a VXT.



Anyone got any more info ?

They should brand it an Opel - they might sell more.

ID - marketing genius.

I like it.

But why didn't they just remove the 'V' completely? Rather than drilling/painting it, etc?

At least they've finally ditched the silver 'V' on the front. Not sure about the disconcerting smile it has on it though.

More pics . . .

Lightbulb

Rumour is £30k+ , being that the VXT is £25k . . . plus at least £5k of addons.
