Looking for a bit of V8 thunder in your life? Then we'd suggest a Vauxhall Monaro - here's how to get one in your garage
While these upgrades improved performance, it wasn’t until 2006 and the limited-edition VXR500 that 0-60mph could be completed in 4.8sec. With a supercharged 6.0-litre V8 and 479bhp at its disposal, this is the craziest and most collectable model, with a mere 18 examples produced for the UK.
Finally, Holden – and subsequently Vauxhall – had enough. The last Monaros were registered in 2007 and, as of writing, fewer than 500 of them remain. To this day, it’s one of the most characterful cars to wear the Vauxhall badge and one of the most affordable ways into a V8 muscle car, especially one in right-hand drive.
Perhaps not for long, though. Rarity is only increasing, and its modest badge won’t be enough to keep values at a reasonable level forever, so in this respect a Monaro makes sense as an investment. The same can be said about its saloon sibling, the 6.0-litreCherish them both, people. With Vauxhall now under Stellantis ownership and pledging to go allelectric by 2028, the chances of the British brand going on such a night out again are near enough zero.
