Vauxhall is weighing up the possibility of launching an Insignia saloon with as much as 400bhp as a flagship for its VXR performance brand.
Although far from a production certainty, it is understood Vauxhall is keen to push the Insignia VXR’s 2.8-litre V6 engine to close to its maximum output and give the car a series of comprehensive engineering changes to afford it some serious performance credibility.
The standard Insignia VXR will get its own cosmetic update in a year’s time. The rest of the Insignia range is due both styling and engineering changes at the same time.
