I suggest read the definition of a Q-ship then consider what a Q-car would be. Could a Q-ship be expected to sink Bismarck, or even Scharnhorst, or even Prinz Eugen?
I would say a Q-car is as much about surprise as it is outright performance. A normal looking Astra that can reach 60 in 6.6s would come as a surprise most people.
Meets my definition. Good shout.I would say a Q-car is as much about surprise as it is outright performance. A normal looking Astra that can reach 60 in 6.6s would come as a surprise most people.
The modern Astra's not as ste as the previous generations either...

Not a six or eight cylinder but another one to make the badge snobs squirm and the car thieves overlook it:
Vauxhall Astra (K) Elite
1.6T, 200PS, 0-60 = 6.6s, 146mph.

Dubious 0-60 time on these. Even autotrader list it as 7.4 on the same spec engine.Vauxhall Astra (K) Elite

The power-to-weight is about 140hp/ton.
The previous Astra (J) GTC three-door variant had a 1.6T (200PS direct injected) available from 2014 and its 0-60 was reported by Vauxhall to be 7.3s which sounds about right.
