The limited-run, hot Vauxhall Corsa VXR Nürburgring hatch leads our used picks this week - here's why you should buy one today
It looked slightly different, too, with stainless steel exhausts, Nürburgring badges and a more aggressive bodykit featuring air scoops, funnels and a rear diffuser. It also received a set of lightweight forged alloys, 30%-lighter Brembo brakes and a torque-sensing mechanical limited-slip differential, all of which meant it was far more than just a run-of-the-mill small hot hatch.
In the snout sat a turbocharged four-cylinder 1.6-litre engine, uprated to produce 202bhp – an increase of 12bhp over the base VXR. The car could therefore complete 0-62mph in just 6.5sec if you timed your shifts of the six-speed manual gearbox right.lived up to its name with excellent agility, balance and grip, thanks in considerable part to that slippy diff. We said it would “serve up nothing but traction and cornering yaw” at launch back in 2011.
Comfort wasn’t too bad either, with those upgraded dampers and springs offering a firm but composed ride both on public roads and the racetrack. The VXR Nürburgring commanded a hefty £22,305 price tag a decade ago. You can pick one up for as little as £6000 today, despite the fact that only 740 remain road-registered in the UK.
Standard equipment inside the cabin wasn’t all that special , but Recaro seats, electric windows, heated mirrors and air conditioning were all standard.
