UK, Meet HSV GTSR!

15 very special Aussie HSV GTSR monsters were bound for the United Kingdom and had to be rebadged as Vauxhall VXR8 GTS-Rs. Meet them now! However, they look somewhat strange with British number plates. 

The company stated in its press release: “They’re finally here.” New high-resolution pics of the VXR8 GTS-R were provided. 

New images present a Slipstream Blue vehicle looking tough. It features 20-inch forged alloys, a carbon-fibber rear spoiler upper plane and carbon fibber fender vents. 

There are GTSR’s Alcantara and leather “Podium” seats. Judging from the latest shots, Alcantara-trimmed helm and gear lever did not came through.
