VXRacing Vectra 6-Pot 362mm Brake Kit
Before the rumour get out and the car gets spotted we thought we would give you a preview of what we
are currently working on in-conjunction with VXRPerformance Centre and AP Racing.
Note the pictures shown are of the first pre-production kit so there will be some slight modifications
to the final product. The final kit will be a big brother of the Astra VXRacing kit with the VXRacing
logo and colours available in Blue or Red.
Continuing the BTCC link to the VXR road cars the Vectra VXRacing 6-pot kit uses the same body
castings as the current APRacing TOCA Touring Brake Kits.
Below is some interesting comparisons to the standard VXR.
