Is This Model The Same As Our VXR8?

[Keep it stiff]

I have been looking for a model VXR8. Is this the same or has anyone else spotted something better?

No offence, really, but does that look like a VXR8 to you ??????????????????????

Difficult to tell with such a poor quality picture! I have seen a few diecast models in racing colours on various Oz sites but again best you get is a single picture and very difficult to tell what best resembles our R8.

I got a model from classic car collectables last year (au fleabay) of Rick Kellys Toll livery v8 supercar but is is a holden not an HSV 1:18, best thing is to email an outlet in Aus and find out if they are available................. The link below is prob the nearest you will get!!

Try Vauxhall most dealers do models

As mentioned I am not sure the actual HSV cars are available yet.
I can only find the VE race cars online not any of the actual HSV cars.
You can get most of the teams that ran the VE this season.

The Gateways Models site is excellent, Monaros a plenty but nothing any closer to our road going R8. The nearest I can see are various Oz race cars with big rear wing, skirts & front splitter etc, even if re-painted would still be a long way off looking like a R8. Various other sites have "products coming soon" sections, but not amongst those either. Still hunting! Mind you found some great other stuff along the way!
