Driven by Ultima Director, Richard Marlow, the British built and designed Ultima GTR road car set a new world record time of a staggering 9.4 secs for the 0-100mph-0 sprint. The GTR scorched from 0-60mph in 2.6 secs, 0-100mph in 5.3 secs and braked to zero from 100mph in a mind blowing 3.6 secs, which are all in themselves road car world record times.

The Ultima GTR used for the successful record attempt was the factory�s standard production specification Ultima GTR640 demonstrator, which has recently been upgraded with a 720bhp Chevrolet V8 engine, and hence now known as the Ultima GTR720. The GTR720 was fully road legal, road tyred and equipped with a standard 5 speed G50 transmission and a standard production engine option from Ultima�s official OE engine suppliers American Speed. No traction control devices or ABS braking aids were used.

There are a few of them on the road here in the US, but many many more in Europe.

I was considering getting one (or a Factory Five GTM), but I think I'm going to pick up a Caparo instead if possible.

There is so much wrong with that statement its not funny.

They are comparing street legal supercars to street legal supercars. Whats the hold up? It doesnt "look" the same?

LOL. Just watched the vid. They drive it to and from the track, not to mention through a drive thru.
