Vauxhall VX220 , 2000 - 2005
The Opel Speedster / Vauxhall VX220 is a small convertible with a center-mounted engine and rear-wheel drive. The car has a lot in common with the Lotus Elise - both cars are described as dynamic and well-managed cars. The Opel Speedster is built on a Lotus Elise chassis, but it is fitted with GM engines. The chassis is made of aluminum and carbon fiber weighs just 68 kg, and the whole car is only 930 kg - much less than many small sports cars. With such a low weight, center-mounted engine, high chassis rigidity and enough power, the car is incredibly fast and manoeuvrable. The speed version of the Speedster can accelerate to 242 km / h and accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h in just 4.9 seconds. This little Opel can wipe the nose of more than one real sports car.
