The 2.8-litre petrol engine isn’t particularly economical, though, and high CO2 emissions means you’ll pay significantly more per year in company car tax than in a standard Vauxhall Insignia or Ford Mondeo.
At the basic 20% rate, your annual tax bill will be £2039, while at the higher rate you’ll be splashing out a whopping £4078. Compare that to a top-spec, diesel-powered Insignia CDTi ecoFLEX Elite Nav and it looks even worse – at £671 and £1342 respectively.
Yes, yes, we know it’s extravagant (but you will have lots of fun).
Fuel economy is… well, shall we say, in keeping with its enormous performance potential. At just 26mpg, you’ll spend more than twice as much time filling up than you would with the standard diesel model, which will do an impressive 67mpg.
That said, the Vauxhall Insignia VXR SuperSport is packed full of standard equipment such as Bluetooth, an eight-inch touchscreen, 3D sat-nav and voice control.
Prices for the Vauxhall Insignia VXR SuperSport start at just £29,749 for the hatchback or £31,049 for the Sports Tourer estate (pictured).
And if you can see past the running costs, then your business could benefit from one of the fastest and best value company cars on the market.
Justification in itself we think!
