Forza Horizon 4: The last new exclusive car

With the producers are busy working on the next Forza Horizon adventure, there's some more life into our British adventure in Forza Horizon 4, and with the arrival of Series 37, here it is; the last new exclusive car to be added to the game as a prize car in the Summer Playlist. Where it came from is a sign that our next Horizon adventure will be.


The VUHL 05, the Mexican track toy we are all familiar with since taking it for a spin on Forza Motorsport 7. Now that it's here on Forza Horizon 5, the last new exclusive car really served as a prelude to our next Horizon adventure this year.


Unveiled in the summer of 2013 and went on sale a year later, the VUHL 05 is Mexico's very own track toy that is the brainchild of the sons of Guillermo Echeverria Sr., a professional driver with 30 years of motorsport experience. Built on a monocoque chassis, the VUHL 05 is powered by a 2.0L EcoBoost engine producing 285bhp of power and 420Nm of torque while mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox. Because it has a kerb weight of 725kg, it has a power-to-weight ratio of 400bhp/tonne, making it capable of going from 0-100kph in 3.7 seconds and a top speed of 245kph.

The RR pushes the VUHL 05 to even greater heights with its new downforce setup, lower powertrain position, lightweight, flywheel, lighter race clutch, full carbon wheels, a 65kg drop from the normal model, and a 115bhp increase on its EcoBoost engine, giving it an additional 200bhp/tonne of its power-to-weight ratio. Its 0-100kph time has been improved by a second.

The VUHL 05RR took part in the 2019 Race of Champions and won.


With our quick info about the VUHL done, it's time to give Forza Horizon 4's last new exclusive car for a spin around the festival as a way to say, thanks to Horizon UK for all the fun times we had since the start of the journey.



What a way to wrap up our British adventure!


With the Forza Horizon 4 car roster well and truly done, from the McLaren Senna to this recent addition, the VUHL 05RR, it feels like that our day in the UK is well and truly over but like all good adventurers, there are still unexplored paths to take on, more challenges to face, and more new things to try before they finish.

The journey's over but there's still more fun to do in Horizon UK because beginning by the time Series 37 is done, Forza Horizon 4 will re-running the rest of the playlists from Series 7 to Series 37, giving you more time to flex your muscles before our next Horizon adventure begins this year.

Until then, keep doing what you're doing. Enjoy!
