New Vauxhall Insignia VXR achieves 170mph!

Vauxhall Insignia VXR

Vauxhall have released a new Insignia VXR which thanks to the de-restricted package can now go 170mph! This is known as the “Unlimited” option which removes the previous Insignia VXR’s 155mph restrictor to an even better package that enables the driver to take advantage of the all wheel drive function to the max.


There are various options that you can buy from New Vauxhall VXR Portadown with manual or auto transmissions and a choice of body styles such as Hatch, Saloon and Sports Tourer, the unlimited option can be included which is recognisable with a blue Brembo logo on the front brake callipers and a brand new speedometer and tachometer showing higher increments. But if you’d rather buy a used VXR then go to usedVauxhall VXR Portadown.


With the turbocharged 2.8 litre V6 engine producing 325PS, it is the most advanced unit which lets the Insignia VXR accelerate from 0-60mph in 5.6 secondsfor the manual hatch, this time has not changed with the ‘Unlimited’ option. 

This improved performance gives owners even more comfort from the Insignia VXR’s advanced 4x4 system that gives the top traction in all conditions. This is done by using a sport differential with Haldex multi-disc clutch with an electronic centre and rear limited-slip differentials which is accoumpanied by Vauxhall’s Flexride, this gives the driver 3 options, standard, sport and VXR.

The new Insignia VXR lets you experience its actual top speed with secure handling. The Insignia
