    Vühl 05RR Revealed With Better Power-To-Weight Ratio Than A Veyron

    Mexican car company, Vühl, has recently announced that they will be putting their 05RR supercar into production. This very lightweight, more powerful version of Vühl’s 05 was unveiled to the world at the Goodwood Festival of Speed back in 2016. However, the only way you could get your hands on one and “drive” it, was through the virtual world of Forza. Now though, if you reside in Mexico, Europe or the United States of America, you’ll be able to purchase a 05RR for real.

    What are the upgrades to the standard 05 you may ask? Well, the 055RR is 65kg lighter and sits at 660kg excluding fluids. You also get some increased shove with an increase of 115 horsepower (86 kW). This means that the 2.3-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder EcoBoost engine makes a total of 385 horsepower (287 kW) and 500 Nm of torque. If that doesn’t sound very impressive, consider this: the 05RR has a better power-to-weight ratio than a McLaren P1, Ferrari F12tdf and even His royal highness the Bugatti Veyron. Due to this impressive power-to-weight figure this Vühl can reach 0 to 100 km/h in a rather impressive 2.7 seconds and will only run out of enthusiasm at 255 km/h.

    The 05RR has a six-speed sequential paddle shift Sadev gearbox that guides propulsion towards the two back tyres. The 05RR’s powertrain is lower to the ground than the 05. That, coupled with a limited slip differential and a purpose built track suspension and steering rack, means that, unless you are Sebastian Vettel, you’ll need to be very brave to explore what the limits of grip will be. Of course the 05RR also has new upgraded body parts too. An ironing board-sized rear wing and a rear diffuser that would make any normal car wet its pants if it stopped behind it, all contribute to the 05RR’s agenda of being fast around a track.

    How much does it cost? Well, that is a very good question – one that, hopefully, will be answered by Vühl in the not too distant future.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
