Luton looks to a name change to stoke interest in its hottest supermini; we still like it but its silly pricing means its quality is a moot point Don’t let the name fool you. This is Vauxhall’s second go at making its tweaked version of the standard Corsa VXR stick.The Clubsport takes the place of the seldom-seen Nürburgring Edition, which sunk without trace despite our fondness for it. Only a new Remus sports exhaust and a marginally better name differentiate new from old.That doesn’t immediately seem like enough, but because the previous car had some notably trick items on its kit list (all carried over), there are several good reasons to be cheerful.Among them is the fact that the Clubsport continues to sit low on bespoke Bilstein springs and inverted dampers, comes to a halt courtesy of lighter Brembo brakes and goes a wee bit quicker than the standard Corsa VXR thanks to the slightly higher 202bhp and 184lb ft of torque rendered by a modified ECU.
