UK tuner Thorney Motorsport has decided to tune both the Vauxhall Astra and Corsa VXR versions, known in the rest of Europe as the Opel Astra or Corsa OPC, into two magnificent power machines.

In the picture above you see the racing version Astra VXR-R (as opposed to the VXR-S model), which has been tuned to generate 300 bhp from its 2.0 turbocharged engine. In addition, the hatchback comes with racing suspension, lowering the car with 40 mm, and a limited slip differential, and large disc racing brakes with four piston callipers complete the package. As a result, you get 0 to 60 mph in 4.9 seconds (96 km/h) and a top speed of 170 mph (273 km/h).
