Software
Spray Bars
Stronger Rods and pistons (THINK)
Different cam profile (THINK)
Differnet turbocharger
After turbo CAT

Basically is a stronger more developed engine. If the Corsa lump is the same, well, all I can say is I can't wait to see it for myself on track....

Oh the manifold thought he said Turbo.

The Astra VXR also has different injectors Daimo.

That looks so much better, I'm not a fan of the bumper vents either.
But from the pics though, I am loving this new VXR! I'll definitely be booking a test-drive on release.

To be fair, in them fresh pics. It looks pretty good, maybe a bit OTT but not a bad effort. Can't wait to see what the performance is like. I like it.
