There have been a lot of amazing off-road race vehicles built over the past 50+ years but the true test of a vehicle is winning races. Sadly some vehicles never get matched with driver capable of driving the platform to it’s potential. That is not the case for the UFO Motorsport’s “El Diablo 2.0” Ultra 4. Designed and built by UFO Motorsport’s Joe Thompson this vehicle has won King of the Hamers twice back-to-back ploted by Raul Gomez.

This 4- Wheel drive beast affectionately named “El Diablo 2.0” puts down 870 horsepower with 760 ft lbs of torque creating the perfect weapon for conquering the mountains of Johnson Valley. This remarkable vehicle is built with a 4130 chromoly steel tube framing weighing in at 5700 lbs with 21 inches of travel in the front and 27 inches in the back all set on 40″ Nitto Trail Grappler K-Spec Tires.

The Tubeworks CrossTie XLP differentials allow the El Diablo 2.0 to run in constant 4-Wheel Drive giving the vehicle traction all the time. The UFO Spec hi-low range box splits the torque of the Dougans 8 stack perfectly for massive gnarly rocks the Hammers is known for.
