That looks kind of greyish, but the VXR is hot, no matter what colour.

In terms of power, handling and engineering, the Opel Astra OPC - or HSV Astra VXR - may not be the hottest hatch around, but there’s one area the Astra two-door hatch has always had it over its competitors: that roofline.
While most two-door hot hatches have fairly square rear quarter windows, the two-door Astra has a unique roofline utterly separate from its four-door sibling - and boy does it make a difference.
While it’s soon to be superseded by an all-new 2010 Opel Astra, the current model has always been a stunning player in the hatch market.
Now, one Opel dealer in the Netherlands has taken it a step further.
Starting as a Nurburgring Edition version of Opel’s hot hatch, this Astra has been re-sprayed in a matt/satin black finish, with a carbon fibre appearance bonnet and roof (yes, purely aesthetic, I’m afraid).
Of course, the stealth look is capped off with gloss full-black alloy rims.
With no performance upgrades appearing in the package, this is likely a clever way to sell a few runout models for a bit of a premium.
Still, with a 2.0 litre turbo engine shoveling 179kW (240hp), the Astra OPC will steam its way to 100km/h in a Golf GTI beating 6.4 seconds and a top speed of 244km/h.
Not too shabby, eh?

exactly my thought they could have use one of the other non limited onesOriginally Posted by Manda88
Despite there being only 20 of them here, there's...835? of them overall...they're not really that rare of a car seeing as the majority of those are in the UK which has the same land size as victoria...
If it were like an Aston one-77 or something they'd done it to, then fair enough, get angry
..was thinking satin black was only for rods & customs..
Would save a lot of time not having to wax & polish though
not a fan to be honest...
