The Wortec VXR8 Supercharged
A few weeks ago we tested out a Lotus Carlton and noticed on the thread that one thing people loved to do was compare it with the M5.
Recently Vauxhall wheeled out their latest super saloon, the VXR8, which was again hyped as being a cut-price M5 basher.
In tests the cooking VXR8 was found to be a great drive, but not quite as fast as it could be.
For this reason we’ve managed to get our hands on a 600bhp+ supercharged Wortec VXR8 ‘Carbon Edition’ - the one that could be seen at the PistonHeads Show last month.
The car costs £47,500 on the road, so is cheaper than an M5, but is it necessarily better than the Munich machine?
This is where you come in.
Motor magazines are clambering to get hold of the Wortec VXR8, but we’ve managed to blag it for tomorrow.
What we need is an E60 M5 driver to have a look and tell us what you think.
Tell us where you are and, within reason, we can come over, take you for a spin and get your impressions.
