VŪHL 05
The VŪHL 05 is an innovative mid-engined two-seater born of a motorsport heritage. The VŪHL 05 has been developed by enthusiasts for enthusiasts. VŪHL team were determined to create a highly intuitive machine that was both stirringly fast and immense fun to drive – a car we ourselves would want to own. They have endeavoured to endow it with class-leading ergonomics and a contemporary silhouette of striking proportions, and the aim of uncompromising build quality has underpinned the project since day one.
Chassis/body
The 05’s monocoque weighs in at a mere 78kg, while the dry weight of the entire car is a very competitive 695kg. The chassis comprises a three-section bonded tub constructed from aluminium extrusions and aluminium honeycomb - aerospace technology that endows the 05 with a remarkably high level of torsional rigidity for optimum handling. Bolted direct to the passenger cell is a chrome-moly steel subframe housing the engine and rear suspension. A three-stage forward crash structure and double layer sidewalls provide a matchless level of protection for the occupants. The standard body is made from RTM reinforced plastic, but carbonfibre is an option. The aero features include a flat underbody, front and lateral splitters, rear diffuser and rear spoiler.
Engine/performance
Power comes from a 2-litre version of Ford’s award-winning DOHC turbocharged EcoBoost engine, the output of which is 285bhp and 420Nm of torque, giving a power to weight ratio of 400bhp per tonne. This results in a 0-100kph time of 3.7 seconds and a top speed of 245kph.
Transmission/steering
The engine drives through a six-speed manual gearbox. Steering is by a high ratio rack and pinion system.
Suspension/brakes
The suspension is by unequal length double wishbones front and rear. Braking is by four-pot alloy calipers all-round, operating on 310mm ventilated cross-drilled discs at the front and 280mm units at the rear.
Wheels/tyres
The 05 rides on OZ alloy wheels shod with Michelin tyres; the sizes of which are 205/45 x 17 front; 235/45 x 18 rear.
Interior
The unique specification can include: carbon bucket seats; 330mm quick release water-resistant suede-covered steering wheel; electronic data acquisition dash; integral HD camera; and water-resistant Dinamica suede trim.
