Template:InfoboxCar2The Vauxhall Monaro VXR is a rebranded V8 Holden Monaro sold in the United Kingdom under the Vauxhall brand.
Shortly before the VXR's production was ceased, a high performance VXR was introduced known as the VXR 500. It has the same V8 as the standard VXR except it has been supercharged to generate 500bhp. It was replaced by the Vauxhall VXR8.
Need for Speed: Most Wanted
The Monaro VXR appears in Need for Speed: Most Wanted with almost identical acceleration, top speed and handling as the Pontiac GTO (2005), which is expected as they both share on the same chassis design.
The only exception is that the Pontiac GTO has slightly higher top speed when tuned. It is unlocked after the player defeats Blacklist racer #10 - Baron.
Need for Speed: Carbon
The Monaro VXR appears in Need for Speed: Carbon as a Tier 2 Muscle class car and is unlocked through differing means;
- Exotic Career - Take over The Projects district in Kempton.
- Muscle Career - Take over Fortuna Heights district in Fortuna.
- Tuner Career - Take over Kempton Heights district in Kempton.
Need for Speed: World
The Monaro was added to Need for Speed: World with the application of a patch released on January 8th, 2013 but has yet to be made available for purchase. [1]
