VAUXHALL ECO-SPEEDSTER PROVES SAVING FUEL CAN BE FUN

The world premiere of the spectacular Eco-Speedster concept at this year’s Paris Motor Show (28 September to 13 October) marks the start of the biggest diesel offensive in Vauxhall’s history.

From now until the end of 2003 Vauxhall will introduce, across the range, four all-new diesel engines with power outputs up to 177 hp. The launch of Eco-Speedster marks the start of this new emphasis on diesel power. It demonstrates how lightweight aerodynamic bodywork and a new 1.3 litre CDTI common-rail diesel engine can achieve an amazing top speed combined with miserly fuel consumption.

During initial testing the 112 hp concept car reached a maximum speed of more than 155 mph while fuel consumption on the combined cycle was an incredible 113 mpg.
