VXR
LIVE THE CHANGE
Advances in automotive technology have diluted the
modern driving experience to the point where many
of today’s ‘performance’ cars have become soulless
and uncommunicative.
You feel like you’re not actually driving. You feel like you’re
being driven: you feel disconnected.
VXR changes all that. VXR is here to reconnect the driver
to the road – not with a wire, but with a heartbeat. There’s a
range of VXR models, every one a focused performance
machine, the kind you want to be driving if you like to get up
in the night for a blast, just for the hell of it. If you are that
type of person, then you’ve got VXR in your blood. You just
might not know it yet.

CORSA VXR
The power to reach 60mph in just 6.5* seconds.
The ability to stay in control from a dynamic sports
chassis set-up. The reassurance that comes from a
range of serious safety features. Choose your weapon
– VXR or the new VXR Clubsport model. All you need
do is point and shoot.
18-inch alloy wheels and Adaptive Forward Lighting are optional at extra cost.
*VXR Clubsport models.

1. Recaro seats. Corsa VXR comes with height-adjustable, ‘shell-
backed’ Recaro VXR sports front seats to keep you in place when the
going gets a little quick. They provide just the support you need right
where you need it. And they look pretty awesome too.
2. VXR facia. Think of it as VXR mission control. This is where it all
happens if you’re a Corsa VXR driver. Black sports instruments with
translucent rings and red highlights. Piano black-effect centre
console with quality CD 30 MP3 audio and aux-in socket. Illuminated
translucent switches. Cruise control. Trip computer. And you.
3. VXR steering wheel. You don’t stick any old wheel on a car like
Corsa VXR. This three-spoke is trimmed in black leather with silver
stitching and the audio remote controls in cool Piano black-effect
panels. It’s flat-bottomed too and has a VXR logo mounted in its own
alloy trim.
4. VXR detailing. The Corsa VXR interior is packed with VXR-
specific details. A leather-trimmed gear knob with VXR logo takes
charge of the six-speed gearbox. There are sports pedals, and
VXR-logo floor mats and sill covers.

DESIGNED TO SET THE
HEART RACING
The name says it all. The Corsa VXR means business. Just one glance at the
honeycomb sports front grille, the rear roof spoiler and the side sills and you
know this car promises performance. And under the bonnet it more than
delivers. Corsa VXR is capable of 0-60mph in a mere 6.8 seconds thanks to a
turbocharged 1.6i 16v engine.
Exterior features
• VXR rear roof spoiler 1.
• VXR honeycomb sports front grille and air dam/bumper
• VXR front fog lights with alloy-effect surround
• Unique VXR twin-arm door mirrors 2.
• VXR side sills
• VXR rear bumper incorporating diffuser
• VXR triangular centre exit exhaust tailpipe 3.
• Dark-tinted rear windows optional at extra cost
Design theme. Corsa VXR’s electrically heated door mirrors, front fog
light surrounds and centre exit exhaust tailpipe all share a unique triangular
design theme.
Alloy wheels. The 17-inch Y-design alloy wheel 4 is standard on Corsa VXR with
215/45 R 17 ultra-low profile tyres. And if you fancy something a little wilder, how
about the optional 18-inch alloy wheels with 225/35 R 18 ultra-low profile tyres 5.
Serious performance and visual impact all in one package.
