The VXR, Vauxhall’s most powerful Insignia model, will make its UK debut at the Festival, featuring a highly-modified Adaptive 4X4 chassis and turbocharged 2.8-litre V6 engine. “The Festival of Speed is one of the highlights of my year,” said Andy. “So when I was offered the chance to drive Vauxhall’s new high-performance Insignia up the Hill, it was just the icing on the cake!  Fast road cars are the essence of the Festival and I am really looking forward to giving the Insignia a good run up the Hill this weekend.” In addition to driving the Vauxhall Insignia VXR, Andy will be busy promoting the Bloodhound SSC, the new Richard Noble-designed Land Speed Record challenger, boasting a 1,050 mph top speed. A full-sized Bloodhound show car – all 42 feet of it – will be on display at the Festival Hear Chris Goodsell Talk Motoring On Radio & Internet ..... more More Vauxhall News ..... here More "Goodwood" News ..... here More Motoring Event News ..... here About | Car Clubs | Home | News | Road Ramblings | Road Tests | Subscribe | Top Drive ©   2009   All rights reserved.   Next Car Pty.
