It's the Vauxhall VX Speedster in the UK. Marketed in the rest of Europe as the Opel Speedster and as the Daewoo Speedster in Korea. The turbocharged VXR 220 is pretty much a match for the Exige.

I drove the Opel Speedster one. Exactly the same as the VX220, just a different badge. And internally, exactly the same as an Elise.

Sort of off topic, what is that red number 11 hanging on the rear window? I see that on some cars from time to time and always wondered what it is. I'm thinking it's a smog certificate.

What do you think
