Vauxhall's Most Powerful Corsa Ever!

When you name a car after one of the toughest race tracks in the world, it had better deliver. The Corsa VXR Nürburgring Edition delivers. Big time!  Blooded at Germany’s notorious Nürburgring Nordschleife – the test circuit to end all test circuits – a 205PS 1.6 litre turbocharged engine, Drexler mechanical limited-slip differential, Bilstein developed chassis set up, uprated sports exhaust and high- performance Brembo braking say this is Vauxhall’s most powerful Corsa ever.

With performance of 0-60mph in just 6.5 seconds and a top speed of 143mph, the Corsa Nürburgring will deliver all the driving thrills you’d expect from a car wearing the legendary track’s name.

With 250-280Nm* of torque and 205PS, the Corsa VXR Nürburgring Edition piles on the performance as cleanly as you like. To harness the model’s new-found power potential, the Nürburgring employs a Drexler traction-enhancing mechanical multi-plate limited-slip differential; this also tames the power during cornering or sudden changes in road surface.

Significant chassis mods – signed off on the Nürburgring’s unforgiving Nordschleife no less – ensure there’s grip, balance and body control to spare. Our hottest Corsa ever receives specially commissioned progressive-rate springs and inverted monotube dampers courtesy of Bilstein, and rides a full 20mm lower at the front and 15mm at the rear than a regular Corsa VXR – giving the car a low, controlled stance. The ABS, traction control and Electronic Stability Programme systems have all been recalibrated to accommodate the Nürburgring’s new, more potent set-up. The result? A seriously engaging track-taming sensation that does full justice to the VXR badge.

But just in case anyone was in doubt, the new model gets a raft of visual identifiers: a stainless steel dual exhaust, newly designed forged aluminium wheels in high-gloss grey, and ‘Nürburgring’ logos on the B-Pillars and front spoiler lip. There are also two new colours available – apple green ‘Grasshopper’ and red ‘Henna’.

Inside, black and red ‘Nürburgring’ lettering adorns the sill plates and front Recaro seat backs, with bespoke white stitching on all seats, as well as the handbrake and gearshift console.
