The Force India VJM11^[4] is a Formula One racing car designed and constructed by Force India to compete during the 2018 FIA Formula One World Championship.

Following the bankruptcy of the Force India team, the Force India assets were purchased—including the VJM11 design and built cars—by a new team, Racing Point Force India, who continued to enter the VJM11 under the Force India name.
