What is "vxr"

VXR is the branding for the high-performance trim specification, used since 2004 for models in many of Vauxhall's car range in the United Kingdom.

Holden also uses the VXR badge for some of its high-performance cars such as the Astra VXR and Insignia VXR.

European-sourced VXR models are produced and developed by Opel Performance Center, a division of Opel. The VXR8 is produced and developed by Holden of Australia's HSV division. The VXR brand is closely linked to VX Racing, Vauxhalls British Touring Car Championship team, and the VXR versions of the cars are race track-styled models, with high performance capabilities.
