The VUHL 05 lightweight supercar makes its debut in the capital at the London Motor Show.

The VUHL 05 lightweight supercar will make its debut in the capital at the London Motor Show, to be staged in Battersea Park between the 5^th and 8^th of May. The Mexican designed and produced newcomer was first seen in the UK at the 2013 Goodwood Festival of Speed and has been on general sale here since late last year via specialist dealer Bespoke Performance (www.bespokeperformance.co.uk).

Its attendance at the London Motor Show will kick-start a packed global programme for this exciting new marque.

The VUHL 05 (VUHL stands for vehicles of ultra-lightweight and high performance) is powered by Ford’s award-winning turbocharged 2-litre EcoBoost engine, which is sufficiently potent to endow the two-seater with a mighty impressive power-to-weight ratio of 410 bhp/ton. Forty percent of the car’s components are sourced here in the UK, where the car is priced from £59,995, and it will be a featured model at the London Motor Show, which has media support from the Telegraph, Auto Express and Motor Trader magazine.

The London show promises visitors the motoring excitement enjoyed by the other European motor shows and will include outside demonstrations and visitors will be able to road test the car or cars of their choice as well as being able to purchase a new car.

Tickets are now on sale via Ticketmaster at a very affordable £15.00. The show will be open from 10 am to 6 pm on m Friday and Saturday, 6^th and 7^th May and from 10am to 5pm on Sunday, the 8^th May. Press and trade day will be held on the 5^th May followed by a VIP evening event to celebrate the first London Motor Show since 2008.

Lotus is back within the M25 and North London for the first time in Six years - Now watch the sales grow.

• Leading London classic car retailer Hexagon now sells the full Lotus range from two locations in the capital  
• New partnership makes Hexagon the only Lotus dealer within the M25 and brings Lotus back to London after a six-year absence
• Announcement re-kindles historic relationship with the famous British sports car brand; Hexagon was a Lotus dealer from 1964 to 1976
• Customers can test drive the full range of new Lotus cars at Hexagon’s East Finchley and South Kensington showrooms

Leading London classic and sports car dealer Hexagon now sells the full range of Lotus models from two central London locations, making it the only Lotus dealer inside the M25.

The new partnership sees Lotus regain a dealership presence in London after an absence of six years. Lotus models will now be sold from Hexagon’s East Finchley and South Kensington sites with both locations stocking all models from Elise to Exige to Evora.

The move rekindles an historic relationship, as Hexagon was a Lotus dealer between 1964 and 1976. It also brings Lotus ‘home’ to north London: Hexagon’s headquarters in Fortis Green, East Finchley - where it will offer Lotus servicing and aftercare - is just a stone’s throw from Lotus’ original base of Hornsey, where Colin Chapman and his team built and sold the first models in the 1950s.

With over 50 years of experience selling the finest road cars from brands such as Aston Martin, BMW, Ferrari, Rolls-Royce and Porsche, Lotus customers can expect the very best in sales, service knowledge and aftercare.

Hexagon chairman, Paul Michaels said: “We can see a very exciting future for Lotus and are delighted to welcome the brand back to Hexagon after nearly 40 years. The Exige S and Evora S are very exciting prospects for our customers, of which we’ve already received a large amount of interest.

“The all-new Evora 400, the fastest of the Lotus sports car line-up of the new millennium, is also one of the most hotly anticipated cars of this year. Reintroducing a brand such as Lotus with its rich heritage to the capital’s car scene is a very exciting prospect – one we’re proud to be a part of.”

Group Lotus plc CEO Jean-Marc Gales said: “We are pleased to welcome Hexagon back to Lotus. This is a perfect partnership for us and the opening of Hexagon Lotus brings to an end a six-year period where we have not had a Lotus dealership in London.

“Hexagon Lotus is perfectly located to provide central London customers with the best opportunity to experience Lotus and I know that Paul Michaels and his team will carry the brand with pride. With such a close connection to Lotus in the past, Hexagon fully understands that Lotus stands for benchmark handling, lightweight, efficiency and a pure driving experience.”
