VŪHL 05 Mid-Engine Two-Seater Powerd By Ford EcoBoost Announced
This past spring we reported on the first rumblings of a new, small performance car company starting up in Mexico, called VŪHL (which stands for “Vehicles of Ultra-lightweight and High-performance). Development of the company’s first product, the VŪHL 05 seems to be moving along nicely – we now have some images, specs and pricing information from the freshly minted automaker.
VŪHL had set out to make the 05 a car in the mold of super-lightweight track stars like the Ariel Atom andKTM X-Bow, and the design and styling seem to have hit the nail on the head. The open-top car is built on a monocoque chassis that weighs just 78 kilograms (172 pounds), and the dry weight of the full car tips the scales at just 695 kilograms (1,532 pounds). A great start.
Powering the svelte 05 is a 2.0-litre Ford EcoBoost four-cylinder engine, which has been tuned to produce 285 horsepower and nearly 310 pound-feet of torque.
