    Default V6 Turbo ?

    Saw a Vec turning into a local dealership with V6 Turbo badge on the chrome boot strip on the drivers side. Not seen one before, it looked OEM. I'm guessing it's a diesel ?

    Although you could fit it to a diesel... Along with a Halfords 3.0 badge...

    Yes, 100% factory 2.8 petrol Turbo, it's the VXR engine, early cars ran 230bhp, then from mid to late 2006 they were 250bhp.

    In Vectra, it is only available as an Elite Auto, in Signum it's either an Elite Auto or a Design Manual.

    Unless it's a police spec then it can be anything!

    Launched at 250bhp then in 2006 went upto 280bhp. Sporty ones are vxr's and elites are more of a standard look.

    As Maverick said, Early ones are 230 bhp and later became 250bhp (ELITES/Design). The later VXRs were 280bhp but were never badged as a V6 Turbo

    I have found the auto 2.8T drives better than the Manual.

    I've got the VXR 280 auto, and glad I didn't go for the manual to be honest. First auto I've had & glad I made the change.

    I agree with Maverick and wardy completly...The 2.8 is a more rewarding drive as an auto more than a manual! I found the Insignia 2.8 Auto better than the VXR
