Here’s the best evidence yet of the forthcoming Vauxhall Insignia VXR. The disguise around the snout of this prototype covers a GTC concept style nose that will front the red-hot Insignia VXR when we finally see it in 2009.
This model is badged as an Opel Insignia V6 – and on the Continent it will wear the OPC tag. And that V6 badge is significant, as the VXR model will use that model’s four-wheel drive system and mechanical package.
Insignia VXR: a turbocharged 2.8-litre V6
The ‘boggo’ Insignia 2.8 V6 turbo develops 256bhp – similar to today's Vectra VXR with 276bhp – so the new VXR will be tweaked up to produce nearer 300bhp, we hear.
Won’t that cause some trouble with the front rubber, steering and chassis manners? Not in the Insignia. Unlike today’s hot Vectra, the newcomer will boast four-wheel drive to tame all that twist.
The new Insignia VXR gets its Swedish cousin’s torque-splitting electronic rear differential to juggle drive between the wheels with the best traction.
