Its a nice "car" but you cant live with it everyday or even once a week for that matter. Its a track car.

i believe it can do it lol... has anyone seen this thing obliterate the top gear track time?? it absolutely killed the times on it by at least 5 seconds... now imagine this on the ring, with more turns, straights, curves, up hillsm down hills etc. damn... i can't wait lol. also, i could definitely live with this everyday haha :P fastest 0-150-0 time, dude... u can pwn cars and not get caught by the cops :P :D:D

Hey, cool idea, put a Vette engine in a real sports car. It's novel but I like it.

hmm, the Ultima GTR is like the little brother that works so hard to one up all of it's older siblings, it may do it, but no matter how hard it tries it will still be the younger sibling.

this beast has the top gear power lap record and it will achieve the nurburgring record probably too. but it would nt be practical for an every day car, where would you let it open up unless you were on a track or back roads.

So, you're saying that this has airbags? And can it even go over a speed bump? I mean, I know of the car from years back, but never really came close to considering it an "every day car". Soon the new Batmobile will be street legal.

Ugly like hell. Why don't design a car that can use normal every day life. That is why I reckon Porches 911 or 997 are still the Best Super Car in the World. Fast, Practical and easy to drive. You can't just put in a Big Block Engine (V8 or V10 or V12), under the bonnet and called it an Ultima GTR. Anyone can do that.

And you username is American-Rules.. This car was purposely made to be a trackday car. & the chances of you seeing one are not too well, especially when it goes from 0-60 in 2.6.

No AC, no powersteering, no airbags, no power windows, no luggage area, no spare parts, no service stations, no lift available (it is too low), no isolation. Yes, it is a nice toy for Mr.Abramowitz who doesnt even wipe it.

this article would have been worth while if they did the rings' record time.

I love the looks of this car, looks like it does because its purpose is more for aerodynamics and not looking pretty. Its a design that WORKS and its even faster around a track than it is in a straight line. Its awesome to see how far Ultima can go. I hope they can expand even further.
