Project UFO. First sighting..

[ringram]

It lives..



Gen-F, Vauxhall VXR8 Maloo is the "official" name. Which will help with insurance no doubt.



Hoping to get better pics tomorrow. These are Dougie's (Thanks mate!)

Looks good, and I'm looking forward to seeing it in the flesh.

Stunning

[jameshsv]

VERY NICE

[jhinchy]

A beauty! Has it landed in UK?

[neiljohnson]

Awesome!! Is it green?

[ringram]

Karma
It's in Luton..

[MyM8V8]

March seems a long way away!

[preciousmetal]

Nice one Richard. Bet you cant wait to get the keys

[ringram]

Yeah this shows the colour better..

The wait was ok as the VE kept me sane. This will be a downgrade in performance. Ill be keeping both. This one is for work. Auto mind..

[mik_ok]

I don get the appeal of the utes, but its not my money.

Like the colour - what are the specs? (LS3?)

Simply. Its a business expense. Its a commercial vehicle so you get VAT back and its purchased from gross earnings, not net after tax etc.
Same applies to running costs..

That is the appeal

Plus its faster than all the FI sedans over the quarter!

Its the SV-R8 model, which means bimodal exhaust and intake for a 340kw OEM rating, aka 453bhp which in theory is 360rwhp odd (~340rwhp in auto form).
Hopefully it will make its way to the dyno day next month.

Christ Rich that looks sweet

Thanks. I think I was suffering brain fade.

Well done Richard, that does look rather nice, looking forward to seeing it in the flesh

[motomk]

Very, very, very nice, I haven't even seen one that colour over here. Made the catastrophic mistake of looking at one the other night in black.


And the colour, just like my other toy! Mine needs a wash though.

[GaryNoGrip]

That is stunning, hope you do bring it the the rr!
