The New Corsa Nurburgring

These are the first offical pictures of Vauxhall's most powerful Corsa ever, the new VXR Nurburgring Edition, on sale from late May 2011.
At the heart of the Nurburging is a re-worked version of the Corsa VXR's existing 1.6 litre turbocharged engine which now produces 250ps (using 98-ron unleaded fuel) at 5,750rpm up from 192ps and 250-280Nm of torque. A modified engine management and turbocharger system, sports exhaust with reduced back pressure - and the ability to run on 98 octane fuel - have all contributed to the rise in power.

Control and Involvement

Perhaps the icing on the cake with the Corsa VXR Nurburgring is the chassis. It recieved its final sign-off at the Nurburgring's notorious Nordschleife, or North Loop. We commissioned Bilstein to develop bespoke spring and damper units for the new model, allowing drivers an even higher degree of control and involvement.
Complementing this are newly developed Brembo brakes, which are 30% lighter than before, and have high performance brake linings covering a 10% larger area. In addition, the Corsa VXR's ABS, Traction Control and Electronic Stability Control systems have all been recalibrated to take into account the Nurburgring's new set up.
Data and Design

With performance of 0-60mph in just 6.5 seconds and a top speed of 143mph, the Corsa Nurburgring will deliver all the driving thrills you'd expect from a car bearing the legendary track's name. But just in case anyone was in doubt, the new model gets a set of visual identifiers: a stainless steel dual exhaust, newly designed forged aluminium wheels in high-gloss grey, and Nurburgring logos on the B pillars and front spoiler lip. There are also two new colours avaliable - Lime Green and Chilli Orange.
