In the UK, an equivalent is Wortec. Wortec supply all sorts of wonderful treats for the VXR8 and VXR500. In 2008, they released a special car. Taking a black VXR8, they added black GTS rims, painted the massive callipers orange and added an orange stripe down the side. More importantly they added a Harrop 122 Supercharger, bi-model exhaust and lowered it 35mm. This car was called the Carbon Edition.As Aussies, we love to give the Poms a hard time.

In 2003 HSV and Vauxhall began an export program where HSV exported a HSV Coupe to the motherland as a VXR500. It was a huge success and in 2008 the E Series Clubsport was exported and sold under VXR as a VXR8.
