VX220 for sale, proven 500bhp, The car and myself are known on the VX220 forum.
Murders anything on the road. Lotus evora S didn’t stand and chance, failed miserably... Porsche turbo couldn’t keep up, King of the road!. Really is the fastest thing I have ever experienced. And such an easy drive for 470bhp, holds the road well.
There is more power available, I capped it at 470 as it was plenty for me, the engine has been built to last and can take more power. Originally the engine was built for a Harrop 1900, so plenty more options for extra BHP,
48k on the clock, Only 3k since the full rebuild...full build thread can be viewed on the vx220 forum. The owner specializes in Hayabusa race engines for Radicals owns TMS racing, they have built some amazing cars. The engine build was carried out by the one and only Vocky, search him on the VX220 forum or on the Z22SE forum Vocky is the guru in the Z22SE world.
This engine has been built to last, and not to be compared to something that has been knocked up in a back street garage, In my opinion built by the best, Its had alot of research, development and money to get it to this stage. All of the hard work has been complete with an engine that has hardly had any use.
How fast is fast. Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 700 bhp/690 nm @ 1575 kg = 444 bhp per 1000kg Bugatti Veyron 1001bhp/1250nm @ 1880 kg = 532 bhp per 1000kg
VX220 1cobrav8 Edition 509 bhp/498 nm @ 930 kg = 547 bhp per 1000kg
Reason for sale to fund my new build house. If you come down to see the car, you will see for yourself, Im knee deep in concrete.. I’ve hardly had time to use it. Im in no mad rush to sell, im needing the money early spring next year, looking for excuses not to sell :0)
Would love the option to buy it back in the future, my plans is to finish the house remortgage and buy another, if someone wants to own it for a year and sell it back to me, I would kill for it. It’s my 3rd vx in under 2 years ;0) im hooked and by no means my last.
Heres Richards old ad as below. The cost to build this was above 20k without taking into consideration the 46k donor car or any of the research development, labour and extra’s such as the carbon bits/wheels etc etc.
cost just spiraled as with all projects like this! I have between 28-30k in this car so for someone wanting serious power without all the hard work then this is it!

Engine is currently fitted with a 2.7 pulley and has produced in excess of 500bhp! Graph to prove. Currently backed of to a comfortable 470bhp. The car is amazingly quick as you can see has been built with no expense spared!
Improvements area’s Body work has a few marks blemishes around it and the front is quite stone chipped etc, and a couple of cracks, not a single sign of bubbling paintwork, or early warning signs of osmosis/blisters. It seems this car has escaped it. Judging by the condition, the Cars spent most of it life in a garage. None of the above detract the look.
I lost the accelerator pedal twice in my ownership error message P1271, reset the igniition turned engine off turned it back on fault and light disappeared. Never came back, never felt the need to investigate further. Im told pedal sensor issue. Common issue.
Front windscreen fitted a little off centre one side, hence the hardtop has a gap, again never bothered me, and really didn’t have the time to readjust the screen. Another common issues when replacing the windscreens.
Asking price 21.990 GBP
