VUHL 05

The VUHL 05 (pronounced ‘vool’, ‘oh five’) is a lightweight sports car in the B-segment, first presented in 2013 at the Royal Automobile Club in London.

[4] It started life with a Ford sourced 240-hp 2,000 cc four-cylinder EcoBoost engine, with an option of 285 HP similar to the previous one but with an optimized induction system and re-calibrated ECU; from 2018 to date it uses a Ford sourced 320-hp 2,300 cc four-cylinder EcoBoost engine with a 360-hp calibration available as performance option.

It also decelerates from 100 kilometres per hour (62 mph) to 0 in 31.6 meters (104 ft), thanks to a bespoke high-performance aluminum Alcon braking system with 330 millimetres (13 in) discs in all four corners.

On June 13, 2016, the VUHL 05RR prototype was presented at the Goodwood Festival of Speed 2016,[6] as an uprated version of the 05 with a clear focus towards an enhanced track experience.

[8] A lightened flywheel, race clutch, and carbon fiber wheels significantly reduce rotational inertia, while lowering the powertrain in the chassis has dropped the center of gravity of the car by 50mm.
