BLOWN MONARO BRIT

HOLDEN’S British affiliate Vauxhall has

released a supercharged version of Expensive Daewoo Special

Vehicles’ VZ-Commodore-based Monaro in the

UK. In this limited edition, known as the Monaro

VXR500, the forced induction increases power

for the familiar LS2 6.0-litre V8 engine from

403PS (297kW) to 500PS (368kW), while torque

increases from 530Nm to 677Nm! Performed

in the UK, the conversion includes a “positive

displacement” Eaton supercharger, upgraded fuel

system and clutch modifi cations. Vauxhall claims

the £35,995 ($A89,198) VXR500 should have a

sub-5.0 second 0-60mph (96.5km/h) time. HSV

told GoAuto this week that there were no plans

for a blown LS2 VE-based E Series sedan to be

sold Down Under – but watch this space.

Getting rid of their old stock. They've been 'factory' blowing the HSV's over there since they've had them...Pretty really, wish they got more of a guernsey in international press, may raise the profile of our FPV's and XR's that way.
