Currently reading: Trick suspension for FWD Insignia

Vauxhall's HiPerStruts will be made available on front-drive Insignias

Front-drive Vauxhall Insignias will be offered with the range-topping VXR’s clever front suspension next year.

Understeer-reducing HiPerStruts are standard on the all-wheel-drive VXR and optional on the potent 4x4 BiTurbo diesel model.

Last week Opel announced the rollout of the HiPerStruts to front-drive Insignias. Vauxhall is still to decide which models will take the upgrade, but the 158bhp 2.0 CDTi is the most likely choice.

HiPerStruts are part of the BiTurbo’s £1500 ‘Supersport’ chassis pack, also including 20in wheels and upgraded Brembo brakes.

Nice idea from GM, but I

Nice idea from GM, but I would sadly never buy anything from them. Hopefully a decent car manufacturer can produce the same technology for one oif their models.
