VUHL starts the year in style after completing successful international dynamic appearance at the Race Of Champions in Miami.

The event, which saw an amazing two days of racing at Marlins Park, kick-off what is sure to be a promising year for the rapidly expanding supercar maker.

VUHL’s lightweight and dynamic 05 ROC Edition was perfectly suited to the tight and twisty circuit, allowing drivers to accelerate quickly and navigate the difficult course with relative ease.

16 of the world’s best motorsport icons drove the VUHL 05 ROC Edition to the limit in head-to-head races with all of the champion drivers getting behind the wheel of the 420bhp/tonne 05 on the technical circuit. Every one of the racers fed back that the cars intense grip and superb brakes increased driver confidence time-after-time in the heat of the competition.

Top names such as Travis Pastrana, F1 champion Sebastian Vettel and Champion of Champions Juan Pablo Montoya all excelled in the 05 ROC Edition. Whilst the spectacular flame-spitting and noise from the exhaust kept the viewing public thoroughly entertained throughout.

On Sunday, Juan Pablo Montoya, Tom Kristensen and Petter Solberg lead the parade before the first race in the orange and white VUHLs.

The event in Miami coincided with the launch of a dedicated website in America – VUHL05.US – where prospective customers can spec up their own VUHL 05 cars, access news and information on VUHL cars, in addition to sales help and advice. A customer service number - +1 (855) 955 VUHL - is now also live.

Looking ahead, the on-going evolution of the 05 model will continue as expansion into the American and European markets reflect demand for the bespoke, lightweight supercar. VUHL commissioned three special edition cars – 05 ROC Edition - for the event, all of which have now been sold to customers. High demand for the Limited Edition car has prompted an increase of production for the model during the first quarter of 2017.

Earlier this year, VUHL agreed a five-year partnership to provide cars to the popular Race Of Champions event.

VUHL co-founder Guillermo Echeverria said: “This is an exciting period for VUHL, we are tremendously proud to have completed another amazing milestone at the Race Of Champions. The response to the car, from the world’s best drivers and the public has been so positive that we have had to increase production in the model seen at Marlins Park. This is another amazing milestone for VUHL and we can't wait to excite fans in the stadium and around the world.”

The British Made VUHL has signed a five year contract to race at the Race Of Champions.

• Five-year partnership with Race Of Champions begins this weekend
• All-new VUHL 05 ROC Edition supercar to test drive at Marlins Park, Miami
• Lightweight, agile supercar perfect for the tight and twisty track
• Test programme undertaken by legendary stunt driver Terry Grant
• Customers in North America now have a dedicated new sales team and web-portal at VUHL05.US

VUHL is delighted to confirm a five-year partnership with the Race Of Champions ahead of the competition last weekend at Marlins Park in Miami.

The announcement comes off the back of a busy period for the lightweight supercar maker, after taking part in the Live Action Arena at the UK’s legendary Autosport International extravaganza last weekend. 

Europe's largest indoor pre-season motorsport event was the perfect proving ground to explore the car's agile handling ahead of the Race Of Champions in Miami this weekend.

The five-year partnership will allow the world’s best drivers to handle challenging tracks across the globe in VUHL’s latest machinery.

The chassis encompasses an ultra lightweight body with a carbon fibre and aluminium combination structure in the monocoque creating a reliable safety cell all weighing 675kg. The VUHL in Miami will adorn exclusive carbon fibre wheels, weighing in at 4.5kg. This light weight combined with the award-winning two-litre Ford EcoBoost powerplant gets the car off the start line to 60mph in 3.2 seconds.

The car has been specially modified and tested exhaustively in the run-up to the Race Of Champions to ensure the finest drivers in the world experience all of the car's capability around the challenging, tight and twisty circuit.

The bespoke rear wing will provide maximum downforce while the limited slip-differential will demand respect from the drivers to put the car through its paces. Race Of Champions Official Stunt & Test Driver Terry Grant has developed the brakes, suspension and quickened the steering rack for the Marlins Park track. Ten Race Of Champions-spec VUHL 05 ROC Editions will go on sale shortly after the event in Miami.

VUHL are proud to announce the launch of a dedicated website in America - VUHL05.US - where prospective customers can access news and information on cars in addition to sales advice from a dedicated U.S. team. 

VUHL co-founder, Guillermo Echeverria said: “This announcement is a huge milestone for VUHL. It’s the culmination of a lot of hard work and continues an already successful year. We are tremendously proud to start 2017 by having the world’s best racers drive our car around the challenging Race Of Champions circuit in Miami. We can't wait to excite fans in the stadium and around the world.”

Terry Grant, the Race Of Champions Official Stunt & Test Driver, said: “This two-seater, full carbon fibre sports car makes it ideal for the tight and twisty Miami track.

“The Race Of Champions demands a car that is fast and dynamic, and the mid-engined VUHL 05 ROC Edition is highly dynamic which is perfect for putting the world's best drivers through their paces. The track requires a car which is quick off the line and can hold its own with the rear hanging out. Going from 0-60 in 3.2 seconds definitely gets my thumbs up! This very fun car will entertain the fans in the US and across the globe.”
