Being a 30 year old from Malta, one would assume your perfect car would be something on trend, a Fiesta ST, or maybe a BMW of some sort. Not Clayton French though! He always wanted a VX220. ‘ It’s just and amazing track car and always dreamed of owning one since 3 years ago ‘’ He explains ‘’ I had the chance to buy one and imported this one from the UK to Malta'

This VX220 is very different to how it left the factory and the UK, Clayton explains further… ‘’ it has a fully forged C20LET engine, tuned and built by my professional mechanic Jonathan Galea (Cinel). Usually these cars come with a Z20LET but I went for the older version just to be different ‘’

We agree, ‘just to be different’ is a great reason for changing things up!

With 600-700bhp in its current guise from the 62mm Precision Turbo, its controlled by a FuelTech FT500 ECU.

Making a 9.4 second ¼ mile pass in only the

 2^nd event since it was built, is a major

achievement for all involved! This makes

for the fastest VX220/Lotus chassis in the world!
