Which sportster won the Car Magazine Performance Car of the Year Award?
Vauxhall’s VX220 Turbo has taken a top accolade, beating supercars from Aston, Porsche and Ferrari to win the Performance Car of the Year award from Car magazine.
The £25,995 Vauxhall VX220 Turbo was judged to be "a well designed, well engineered driver’s car that is guaranteed to spark a warm glow of anticipation every time you reach for the keys ," said Car.
According to Car it was also the most solid all round performer in testing in Wales. The Vauxhall sports car beat the Bentley Continental GT, Ferrari’s 360 Challenge Stradale, BMW’s new Z4, the Nissan 350Z and Porsche’s 911 GT3.
CAR’s editor, Angus Mackenzie, said the VX220 won "because it fulfilled every criteria better than any other car on test ."
The introduction of the 200hp, 151mph turbo version in the spring has seen VX220 sales almost double over the first nine months of the year compared to the same period last year. "This important award demonstrates vividly Vauxhall’s commitment to driving excitement and innovative design ," warbled brand manager David Pugh.
