2012 Vauxhall VXR8 Bathurst S.
Vauxhall VXR8 sedan has won praise for introducing its latest edition, VXR8 Bathurst S. This special edition comes with a Walkinshaw Performance 122 supercharger that cranks up to 431 horsepower standard car to destroy the earth a 560 horsepower. Horsepower is not only a major change as new supercharger also increase the output torque LS3 V8 like 715Nm from 550Nm to diesel. This car has interior and exterior design is very sporty in its display.

The special edition is outfitted with a Walkinshaw Performance 122 Supercharger that cranks up the standard car’s 431 horsepower to an earth shattering 560 horsepower. Horsepower isn’t the only big change as the new supercharger also increases the LS3 V8 engine’s torque output from 550Nm to a diesel-like 715Nm. Vauxhall insists that they could have gotten even more power out of the supercharger but for drivability and durability reasons, the company decided against it.

Price :
Some may find the VXR8 Bathurst's styling a bit overblown, what with its EVO-esque front end and big side air inlets. Those who appreciate the heft of the car's blower, though, should like these features just fine. Vauxhall advertises the VXR8 Bathurst S as the cheapest way to get more than 500 PS in the U.K., and no challenger has come out to prove them wrong. A performance bargain at £44,995, the Bathurst S will be in selected Vauxhall dealerships soon.

The VXR8 Bathurst looks decidedly non-British, with its strange hybrid styling of the large Pontiac G8 GXP, a Ford Fusion or Australian-market Falcon, and perhaps some Holden Commodore thrown in for good measure.

Makes sense: the VXR8 is loosely based from both the Holden and G8 models, featuring the GM-sourced LS3 V8 found in both models. Unlike the G8 GXP, though, the 2010 VXR8 Bathurst S features a true manual 6 speed transmission.
