Vauxhall opens performance centre

Offers approved mods

VXR Performance Centre

Want to squeeze extra performance out of your Vauxhall, but don’t want to buy bolt-on parts from a high street accessory shop?

At Vauxhall’s new VXR Performance Centre, owners of mainstream Vauxhall models can benefit from a range of tuning and styling modifications that are fully supported by the Luton-based company.

Based at the headquarters of VXRacing at 888 Race Engineering, which prepares and campaigns Vauxhall’s Astra Sport Hatch touring cars, the centre offers a range of mods, from styling, suspension and brake upgrades, to remaps of the fuel system to deliver increased performance.

The centre, located in rural Oxfordshire, offers a range of VXRacing-backed modifications for all cars in the Vauxhall range, and can even increase the power outputs of models such as the Astra, Vectra and Zafira VXRs.

The facility also offers the chance to see the birthplace of the VXRacing team, with the option of providing a factory tour, a chance to purchase memorabilia and an insight as to what goes on behind the scenes of a championship winning BTCC Team.

VXR brand manager Stuart Harris said: "The opening of the VXR Performance Centre further strengthens the links between Vauxhall’s VXR road cars and VXRacing. We’re proud to be associated with Triple Eight in a venture that not only celebrates our successes on the race track, but also brings the results of our motorsport expertise to enthusiastic Vauxhall owners."
