Despite the Vauxhall branding used in-game, this is actually identical to the Opel Astra DTM car also in the game. It even retains the yellow/white Opel livery and "Genau Mein Ding" slogan of Opel Service. Same is true for the Vauxhall Calibra touring car.

Yes, this one is definitely a DTM version of the Astra Coupe. By the aero you can understand it's the V8 RWD version, because the one which raced in BTCC is FWD, has an inline 4, and it's not so wide.

DTM = Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters for German cars only. That would be the Opel version of this, not the Vauxhall version pictured here. British Vauxhall Astras ran in the BTCC until 2004.

BTC-T Vauxhall Astra Coupe, also known as . . . Vauxhall Astra Super Touring Car (Wasn't particularly super by BTCC standards but by Astra standards this was the dog's proverbials.)
