Astra Van with a CDTI 150 lump then get it remapped. 185-200BHP is easily attainable and there are warranty approved remaps out there.

There is some company doing chipped sportive vans with the XP kit, quite tasty really, probably the best out there new,

I was chatting to Justin Law about it at Goodwood this year. It was built from the remains of a written off XJ220 race car and is running about 600bhp. The van is still going, their plans are to take it to the Nurburgring at some point to beat the Transit lap record set by Sabine Schmit on Top Gear. You read it here first.
