Also known for breaking records, the Ultima GTR by UK-based Ultima Sports was a cracking car. It was produced from 1999 to 2016 both as a car kit as well as a factory-produced car. While it was designed to accommodate a variety of LS engines; it was the tuned LS7 that really gave the Ultima GTR its fire. With 640 horses, it could go 0 to 60 mph in a blink of just 2.6 seconds.
One feature that made the Ultima GTR unique was it was meant to actually be driven, and driven hard. She may be pretty, but she was no garage queen. It had crazy launch, and stellar performance beyond a straight line.
When we first spotted the Ultima GTR on Top Gear, we knew this was indeed a special car.
Its suspension, cornering ability, and LS fury made the Ultima GTR a supercar that always stood apart.
