Vauxhall announces Arctic Astra VXR

Updated



Vauxhall is making a limited edition version of its Astra VXR, dubbed the Arctic.

In a bizarre naming policy, the Arctic comes in the middle of spring, and has nothing to tie it to the chilly continent other than its colour – all 500 of the special editions will be white.

That oddity aside, this looks like a decent way to get a hefty amount of kit over the standard VXR – it gets heated leather Recaro seats, 19-inch alloy wheels and tinted glass. Apparently the extras should cost £1,965, but bump up the standard VXR's price by just £720 to £23,595.
