Pity it's basically a re-bodied Lotus Elise, with a GM engine. In fact, it's actually built by Lotus.

the way i look at it is, sure its a nice car, but would you prefer one of these or a tommy mack edition evo6? To me the fun factor seems to lean towards the Jap pocket rockets. Once again this is always subject to opinion. Having only driven jap cars myself i cant compare but if i was to spend such money on a car, i dont think it would be this :S

omg wat a lotus ripoff lol... oh n the mufflers look kinda kinky lol forbiden love...

[Croatian Princess]

front reminds me of mr2 convirtable or is that just me obssesing over convirtables again?

I remembered seeing a test that stated otherwise.

Still a pearl of a car though.

Gah! There is reason to the title 'Master' which was issued to you so long ago.

It's not a bad thing, just the original poster was claiming that the creation of the car was due to Opel/Vauxhall etc, where the real credit to most of the car goes to Lotus.

And as for sending the good stuff to the UK, we've sent a grand total of some LPG Falcons, and the last of the Monaros. Nothing flash there.

Yes my friend that was the VX220! BUT........... Look closely.......... this is the VX220 TURBO!

****s all over the lotus. Then lotus brought out the supercharged version to compete with it!

VX220 with its 145bhp and 0-100km/h in claimed 5.6 sec. Weight = 930kgs

VX220 VXR has 220 and has a confirmed time of 4.2 sec...... A power-to-weight ratio of 233.33 bhp/ton is fantastic.

This thing eats Lotus Elise's for breakfast! Its faster by a huge margin, i also think its cheaper but will have to check.

The main difference between the two is the turbo badge on the rear

[CORZZA]

Just to put it in perspective... In an overseas magazine they did a huge track day at Brands Hatch and this VXR220 was outlapping a BMW M3 CSL, Subaru Impreza type 25, Lambo Gallardo, Evo VIII MR, Aston Martin DB9, Lotus Exige and Lotus Elise 111R. The only cars that were quicker were Noble M400, Porsche 911 GT3 RS and Caterham R500!

All of this for only £25,742! Thats Subaru Sti money!

Heres the top gear video:

It's a Vauxhall and Jeremy Clarkson likes it, that tells u something about the car!!!!

From what I've seen on the track the Lotus still edged this one out. The Exige is more drivable too apparently. Who cares though. It's still a good car.

[CORZZA]

the supercharged exige though. and its still lighter.

Yeah it's supercharged lol. Power to weight is one thing. Chassis dynamics is another however.
