VXR is the branding for the high-performance trim specification, for models in many of Vauxhall's car range in the United Kingdom. It was launched in 2004 to replace the GSi branding (which itself replaced the GTE label) which was previously used on top-end high-performance models. The VXR badge is not used on any other General Motors vehicles apart from 2006-2009 when it was used in Australia when used on the HSV VXR, a version of the Vauxhall Astra.

VXR models are produced and developed by Opel Performance Center, a subsidiary of Opel and Holden Special Vehicles, the performance vehicle partner of Holden. The VXR brand is closely linked to VX Racing, Vauxhalls British Touring Car Championship team, and the VXR versions of the cars are race track-styled models, with high performance capabilities.

The VX Racing name was first used in 2003 instead of Vauxhall Motorsport, taking part in the BTCC with cars prepared by Triple 8 Race Engineering.

The VXR badge was first launched in the summer of 2004 at the British Motor Show with enhanced consumer versions of the Monaro and VX220. In 2005 the VXR range included the Astra VXR and subsequently Zafira, Vectra, Corsa, Insignia and Meriva versions.
