Summer, for Vauxhall, has arrived a little speedily.
The fastest car to carry the new-look Griffin badge is just out, a potent 6.2-litre VXR8 priced at £35,695.
This 170mph-plus, 424bhp super-saloon has a full range of engine modifications to optimise the new level of power, including high-flow cylinder heads, new pistons and an enhanced valvetrain.
The VXR8's 0 to 60mph time has been shaved down to 4.9 seconds for the automatic version, which carries the same price tag as the manual.
