engine, transmission and chassis. Whichever way you look at it, Corsa VXR doesn’t hang around. The lightweight 1.6 litre turbo puts out
192PS and the software controlled overboost increases maximum torque to 260+Nm for safer overtaking. No worries in the chassis
department either. With lowered sports suspension, bigger brakes, switchable Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) with traction control
and ABS with straight line stability control and cornering brake control – it’s all designed for rapid, safe progress.
