Vauxhall has signed off its 325bhp Insignia VXR saloon after completing its 10,000km shakedown at the Nurburgring.

Prices for the V6-powered Vauxhall Insignia VXR will start at £30,995 when it goes on sale in September. It is the first VXR model to feature four-wheel drive and it also features Vauxhall’s torque steer-reducing HiPerStrut front suspension system.

Andy Gilson, Vauxhall’s Marketing Director, said: “The Insignia VXR is not just about absolute power, but a combination of usable performance and chassis sophistication which is the match of premium rivals, such as Audi’s new S4.

“In essence, it’s an ultra-fast performance saloon that will appeal to buyers who appreciate subtle yet distinctive styling, but who need to know that there’s real substance below the car’s metal.”

Standard kit includes 19-inch alloy wheels, Recaro front seats, a new VXR steering wheel, VXR gearknob, different instrument graphics, VXR sill plates and a black headlining.
