VUHL 05RR

It was at the Goodwood Festival of Speed ​​in 2016 that we met the version most radical of VUHL 05 . Its denomination was VUHL 05RR and at that time it was only an exhibition model that advanced where the future steps of the brand could go. However, the reception of the 05RR was very warm and those responsible for the Mexican firm have decided to market it.

The VUHL 05RR , which has the Ariel Atom and KTM X-Bow as main rivals, has a very complete technical review. The most important one is in charge of its mechanics, of Ford origin, because it increases its power in a remarkable way. To it, you have to add a chassis with a revised suspension, a limited slip differential or a direction with a specific set-up.

As confirmed by the brand, the weight reduction has been of nothing less than 65 kilos, leaving the mark in 660 kilos . To this figure we must add that its engine 2.3 liters Ford provides 396 HP under the right foot.

Considering the power-to-weight ratio , the acceleration of the VUHL 05RR is of infarction, although it is maintained with respect to 05 "normal".

However, maximum speed data is not yet available, so this number could be higher.
