Hey there! So you're curious about Vauxhall in the Forza world? Awesome! Vauxhall is a pretty cool British manufacturer that's shown up in pretty much every Forza game, except for the *Forza Horizon* series. Let's dive into what makes them special. ### A Little History Vauxhall has been around for a while, kicking off with their first car back in 1903. They've been part of General Motors since 1925. Early on, they were known for being both speedy and tough. Fun fact: in 1909, a modified Vauxhall A-type was the first car to break 100 mph over a mile! They even had the 'Prince Henry' Vauxhall, a low-slung beauty from 1911, which some folks consider the first real sports car. Before World War I, their E-type was one of the fastest production cars around, hitting about 85 mph. After GM bought them, Vauxhall started focusing on making more affordable cars in bigger numbers, which really boosted their popularity. Later on, in the 1960s, they started building the Viva, which was actually based on an Opel design from Germany. The Astra hatchback, which came out in 1979, was also an Opel design and ended up being sold globally under different names like Opel, Holden, and Chevrolet. The really hot version of the Astra is the 2-liter, 240 horsepower VXR. And then there's the Monaro VXR, which is based on a Holden from Australia and packs a serious punch with a 403 horsepower V8, borrowed from the Chevrolet Corvette. This beast could hit 180 mph! ### The Cars You'll Find Vauxhall is a British automobile manufacturer featured in all Forza main titles except _[Forza Horizon](https://forza.fandom.com/wiki/Forza_Horizon
