One of the limited edition Vectras made in the late 90s. This one was inspired by its touring car counterpart. There was a Vauxhall Vectra similar to this sold in the UK as the Vectra GSI. One thing I find funny about the Vectra is how much Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gear hates it. I actually quite like this sporty Vectra, but that's just me and my random taste in cars.

For a bit more information; I quoted what is said about the i500 from its Wikipedia page.
Sporting limited edition models included the touring car championship inspired i500, Super Touring and GSi. The first model was developed in Germany by Opel Motorsport, with the V6 engine's power increased to 195 PS (143 kW), and the other two were created in Milton Keynes by Motor Sport Developments. Only 3900 2.5 GSi models were ever produced, mostly in saloon and hatchback guise. With only 317 estate versions produced during this time, they became one of the rarest production Vauxhalls ever.
