Thumbs up Ultima GTR

Cobra Dan,

It's not a contest ...[The British built super car stormed from 0-60mph in 2.8 secs and reached 100mph from standstill in an incredible 5.9 secs]

Tom,

Great article, glad you found it.


"Driven by Ultima Director, Richard Marlow, the factory built Ultima GTR set a new world record time of 10.3 seconds to achieve 0-100mph-0 smashing the previous record by half a second.

The company info indicates that this car is available in the US as a "kit". Further in the companys info, it went on to state that this chassis was used as a "mule" by McLaren in their development of the F1.

It resembles a Porsche 962.

I like the view from inside the car..
Did you see the flames coming from the unspent fuel in the exhaust pipes when it came to rest?

A street car that can handle along with accelerating to 100 in 5.9 seconds and doing it at 10% of the cost of a McLaren!!!

Incredible...

One thing I can say about the our fellow enthusiasts across the pond, they know serious speed.

Is that where AC was?

Don
