Vuhl 05 track day car review (Sunday Times Driving)

The Vuhl is designed and built in Mexico, powered by a mid-engined Ford 2.0-litre turbo, and is, possibly, the most thrilling thing you’ll drive this year. This is an entirely legal road car, with a reasonable ride and looks to die for, and it costs around $90k. What are you waiting for?

There are a few issues, to be fair. It doesn’t have a roof. There are no doors, so you need to clamber in over the side, preferably after removing the steering wheel for ease of access. Oh, and there’s no windscreen, either: you’ll need some pretty tough sunglasses, at least, to keep road debris out of your eyes; a full-face helmet is even better.

Yet the Vuhl is easy to drive, with regular pedals, gear-change and clutch, and not a flappy paddle in sight. And my goodness, it’s fast. The performance is explosive right from the off, even though 285hp is just Boxster levels of power.
