HSV VRX Hatch

Yes that’s right, meet the VRX Turbo the latest hot little four to emerge from the Holden Special Vehicles’ workshops and it’s set to hit the market at a price point somewhere below $A43,000.

With a 0-100kmh speed of just a little more than 6 seconds this vehicle may not be the fastest from a standing start but it is certainly going to attract a lot of interest. The engine is a 2 litre DOHC turbocharged unit coupled to a 6 speed manual box.

The genesis of this vehicle is a Vauxhall Astra orignally tweaked by the Opel Performance Centre in Germany.

This hottie isn’t on the market just yet but could be by early 2006
