This cinematic evolution follows the Astra through more than four decades of performance, with each generation transforming into the next through moving engineering blueprints and high-speed driving sequences. From the early Astra SR and GTE, through the GSi 16V, Coupé Turbo, GSi Turbo and VXR, to the later generations where the performance Astra began to disappear. And at the end… the VXR that never was.
