This is the truth universally acknowledged that, to paraphrase Jane Austen, if you give him a professional racing driver and track gadebil completion of the test blank, would not point it too thin, jade.
Therefore, it is difficult to say which is more impressive when the pH was met with Paul O'Neill Touring Car Racing and all the new Opel Insignia VXR - the fact that the car took the punishment Peace can not move, or pilot Career mechanics had sympathy for the road car. Call it a bit of both, so pleased to honor both sides.
Take the Vauxhall sedan last great challenge for the course of the Alps known as a test to see how it develops Millbrook Insignia VXR Nurburgring struggling. I put a BTCC driver Paul O'Neill, the driver's seat, just add the extra species.
So what does this mean? "This is a great car, but I do not feel as if, once the start time, too," says Paul. "This is a refined, comfortable and can be used on the road - a great car all day - but when the course of the Alps, it feels like a real sports car."
With 321bhp and 321 pounds feet of the tap of 2.8 liter V6 Turbo, the Insignia VXR certainly compare the results of the "real" sports car, 60 kmh get from standstill 5.6sec and top speed is limited electronically to 155 km / h. However, I do not like racing. "You know a little more power," said Paul with a kiss, before you remember their "corporate responsibility" and added that "only the body should be so obvious to the point, of course." Yes, of course ... Peace
However, energy is meaningless if not managed effectively - and it is here, Sleeve Insignia VXR tricks revealed explanation. There Adaptive 4x4 system - first in the product VXR - electronic limited slip differential, three-way system Flex Ride. In standard mode, the vehicle suspension, throttle response and management are configured to adapt to daily driving. In turn the "Sport" shock and strengthened, reducing body roll. Hit the 'Tank', and all the insignia Chuck you, be strong, sharpen the throttle response and make management more directly.
Trick intelligent of all but the front suspension HiPerStrut Insignia VXR. This development is set MacPherson Strut to regulate common symbols used in front of the residence and may have a greater contact patch in turns, better control and reduce subviratge. We do not know at this point - I just find it later. Paul places that there is something clever in the immediate suspension, however. "I do not know what they have done with this suspension, but the trick of food and decrease the death of a strong recovery.
All this clever technology of the chassis is obviously convinced that Paul was attacked immediately by Chueca, Millbrook demanding mountain route with dense (which changed to 'Tank Mode', obviously). Despite the protest Chirps tires more likely VXR high speed, even while he felt absolutely secure.
Probably does not mean boring, but "we can not say this, but the wheels, except in full force," said Paul casual as it gets tight left is the throttle. "It's really ingenious. It was nice to turn right and you can almost start a car rear-wheel drive, and put tanks on the corner and goes directly to power after a tip. Mint .
Insignia VXR feels exceptionally well damped, suspending his hack clear before doing their jobs properly. There is a special part of the route of the hill, which is especially the attention of passengers - in the direct pitch, followed by turn right out of the rope, go comb.
Despite its size, making the VXR admiration. Let the area of braking downhill and Pablo are difficult four pot Brembo brakes too late. I'm almost convinced that the negative slope of the trip will give us the tone of the race, but with the scream of tires, and the Insignia is accelerating towards the summit. How to make the leap, taking the air than it should be a clear 12 inches. Incidentally I am in favor of the division-Crunching, shocks stop testing when the consequences of the earth, but never falls. Instead, the robot is, and characteristics slowly - almost as if he never left the country. Paul turns to me. "Now it is true," he says with a smile.
We can not back off ESP - wooded path very, very Armco beside the road that really would not want that, even in the car as stable as the Insignia - but there's no real reason. Electronic driver aids as the best, ESP VXR that long before the scope was to intervene on their behalf.
"The ESP is really urgent," says Paul. "This allows you to adjust the position of the car on corner lot - but it's nice to know there is for you. Just a little here is really top top right right hand rear wheel rotation curve right air. Send your next car, but the ESP catch before you get too much on the line - it is a good thing, because there are going very fast.
After nearly two hours of very steady work, our time is up Milbrook, the Insignia owner (Paul) can take a rest, though the only tangible sign of the Badge is a complete training in hot, fragrant brakes and very hot. As basically a family car - although the sport - as a punishment as light to push terribly impressive.
