The market for so-called ‘track tools’, ie for sports cars whose main area of application is on the racetrack, is limited, even if some of those vehicles are also street legal. So far, brands like Radical, Ariel, BAC or KTM split that market between them. For some time also Vuhl from Mexico with their model 05 try to play with them. Now the first American manufacturer arrives at the scene. In the car metropolis Detroit the newly founded manufactory Vandal Cars now presented their first vehicle, the Vandal One. Even the first glance at this flat sports car leaves no doubt where this car targets to. It shows a pure racing look. Consequently, Vandal Cars didn’t even try to make it street legal.

As a result, the development team, which was recruited from former employees of McLaren, Lola and Ford Racing, could concentrate on putting a car without compromises for roadworthiness on its wheels. You can tell that from its construction. As with all the competitors, lightweight construction came first in the development specifications for the One. With a dry weight of only 555 kilograms, you can attest to the Americans that they’ve reached their target. Thanks to a carbon monocoque and a body made from the same material, the One isn’t only extremely light, but also safe and torsionally stiff. The fact that the body is also aerodynamically efficient is shown with a downforce level of up to 800 kg. This should allow lateral acceleration values of up to 3g in corners. Of course, these values can also be achieved thanks to the chassis, which uses Formula 1 technology. Vandal installs pushrod suspensions at front and rear with adjustable shock absorbers. The ground clearance can also be adjusted to the individual layout of the racetrack. On particularly flat stretches, only 1.5 cm remain between the front wing and the road surface, while at the rear there are still 5 cm. If it gets a bit more rough, the One can be raised up to 12.7 cm at front and 14.6 cm at the rear. Currently, the manufacturer only offers one combination of tires and rims, namely front 10×18-inch rims with 265\/35-18 tires and rear 12×18-inch rims with 325\/30-18 tires. Only Pirelli slicks are available at the moment, although the naked chassis in the official pictures wears Michelin tires.<\/p>\n\n\n
