Hi all, Confused noobie here. I've been looking at VX220 Turbo ads one has caught my eye but it states VX220 Turbo VXR. As I understand the VXR is a Special edition, but whats so special about it? Does it have a different badge, as from the pics on the advert it just looks like a standard VX220 Turbo, no extra badge? Plus can it still be modded to 240bhp? Thanks

Standard 220BHP, Hybrid Turbo, different suspension, seats, do a search, Milltek exhaust as standard, can be remapped to more BHP than VXT

Different badge And Uprated Wheels, tyres, suspension Brakes Seats (can take harnesses) Engine (220 not 240 bhp) with hybrid turbo Lots of info here and elsewhere if you do some searches.

It can have the milltek as standard, it was an option.

wow that was quick!

Sorry whats a Hybrid Turbo is that the same/better/worse than normal VX220 Turbo, no badge differences?

[Jase_MK]

Milltek exhaust as standard

Nope same exhaust as a VXT, as standard.

Nope same exhaust as a VXT, as standard.

Ok Milltek was an option, but most have it?

Hybrid can flow alot stronger boost

no badge differences?

The badge on the back will say VXR220 instead of VX220.

Also, only comes in red*, with black mirrosr and a black grill and rear spoiler.


*apart from four cars that were made to order in other colours (yellow, black, blue and moonland) - but all owned by members here so prob not for sale.

based on what you all saying I doubt this is a VXR:

Hello urbanmac, I have just moved from an S2000. The VX is great and am loving every minute of it. The VXR will melt your eyeballs, it's a beast of a car running on semi slicks - if you didn't like S02s then watch out for these in the rain. Good lcuk with your search. Will you be going for a n/a or Turbo or VXR - Lance Owen in Heathrow had a vxr for sale, they may still have it. Cheers

[meldert]

It can have the milltek as standard, it was an option.

The upgraded suspension (öhlins) was an OPTION too, wasn't it?

Not all VXR have it afaik...
