VUHL wrote:The VUHL 05RR, Mexico's most exhilarating export and precision-engineered lightweight supercar, takes to Lord March's drive this weekend to make its world debut.
The previous incarnation of the 05 wowed the crowds at the Festival of Speed two years ago with F1 racer Esteban Gutierrez at the wheel. With reduced weight and 25 percent more power under his right foot, British GP2 challenger and Manor Racing F1 reserve driver Jordan King plans to go even faster on Friday.
VUHL will be starring in Goodwood's Michelin Supercar Paddock, parked on the phenomenal Michelin Cup 2 tyres that wrap its ultra-lightweight carbon fibre wheels. Between them and the 05RR's revised aero package, which includes a full-width rear wing and F1-inspired diffuser strakes, following extensive wind tunnel development at MIRA, by Collins LTD. Road-registered but track-focused, the VUHL 05RR comes with full carbon fibre bodywork and a hybrid aluminium-carbon monocoque to trim its already low weight by over 10 percent to 640kg dry. Its highly efficient 2.3l Ecoboost engine, with 6-speed sequential gearbox, produces 385 horsepower, marking a gain of 100bhp over the original VUHL 05. The resulting 600bhp-per-tonne statistic is greater than the Ferrari F12 tdf, McLaren P1 and Bugatti Veyron.
Zero to 62mph arrives in 2.7 seconds and it keeps climbing to 160mph. A lowered centre of gravity of 50mm and high speed steering rack result in the ultimate race car for the road.
Jordan King said: "There's usually a big difference between what people consider a supercar and what is a proper racing car. I'm really excited to drive the Vuhl 05RR because it has the perfect recipe: lightweight to the core, huge power-to-weight, and it looks incredible. Goodwood is going to be a tonne of fun."
Iker Echeverria, VUHL Technical Director: "The Goodwood Festival of Speed is a Mecca for performance car aficionados and the perfect place to reveal the stunning new 05RR. We've upgraded this car in every area to make it faster, more engaging and more aggressive."

You probably would not expect this coming from Mexico, but they have a very enthusiastic car crowd there and some excellent F1 drivers as well. Competition for Lotus, KTM, BAC etc.
Trackdays will be good.

Well, now you're just bein' rude.
And who cares? I do, otherwise I wouldn't have made that post alertin' you. Just because you don't mind differentiatin' both VUHLs it doesn't mean everyone else don't too.
Try to at least post these car videos in their correct threads instead of just puttin' them anywhere you deem it'll be good enough.

Lame excuse.
They have different aerokits, they have different engines, they have different color schemes, and they are both different cars made by the same manufacturer much like an Ariel 300 Supercharged is not the same as an Ariel 500 V8.
And then people ask me why I think certain members only "share" these videos to increase their post count. The proof is right here when the "video sharer" doesn't even give a f*** about the car they're posting about.

Or much like a Porsche 911 is not the same as a 911 GT3.
This is quite ignorant of Lunytrickz's part.

If you don't care about even differentiating the car in the video with the one in the thread then you shouldn't even be posting that video in the forum.
