The new 05RR has been improved in all the right places. In the already extremely low car, VŪHL dropped the whole powertrain by 1.97 inches, which automatically improves the car’s center of gravity and grip.

VŪHL does not specify if that reading is with or without the optional track-specific suspension setup and slick tires.
Thanks to carbon wheels, a lighter flywheel, and a lighter racing clutch, the 05RR is 143 pounds lighter than the previous car and now weighs a claimed 1,455 pounds. VŪHL boosted the engine too, with 115 extra horsepower and 74 lb-ft more torque. That means the 05RR has a power-to-weight ratio of 600 horsepower per ton and can go zero to 60 in 2.7 seconds.

VŪHL is under contract with the Race of Champions to drive the 05 ROC Edition for five years, from 2017 to 2021. For those who like what they see, the new VŪHL 05RR is now globally on sale, including in the U.S. market.
