Description

FAA WATERCOLOR MARK DOES NOT APPEAR ON FINAL SALES
While attending a Classic Car show in the Plantation Fields of Oyster Bay, New York on an extremely hot day in August 2015. I came across this car that I had never seen before and since I go to a lot of car shows all around I am always looking for something different to photograph and find out the background on. Well this was one of those days and one of those cars. As I walked up to this car the owner very friendly came over to me and said can I answer any questions? I said yes what is it? He replied, it is a 2014 Ultima GTR Supercar the FASTEST SPORTSCAR in the world. He said it is manufactured in England and it does not have a manufacturing company in the states so he had to have it sent to him in parts, over 70 boxes and then he had a team put it together. So basically it can be bought off the assembly line or in kit form. He told me he can reach 100 mph in 5.3 seconds. So when I got home I checked out this car and sure enough his facts where correct. Please feel free to read the information on the 2014 Ultima GTR below;
The Ultima GTR is a sports car manufactured by Ultima Sports Ltd of Hinckley, Leicestershire, England, and described by commentators as a supercar.[2][3] The car was available both in kit form and as a "turnkey" (i.e. assembled by the factory) vehicle up until early 2015, when it was replaced by the Ultima Evolution. The design is mid engined, rear wheel drive layout, with a tubular steel space frame chassis and GRP bodywork. A convertible version called the Ultima Can-Am was also produced. Kit builders were free to source and fit a variety of engines and transmissions but the Chevrolet small block V8 supplied by American Speed mated to either a Porsche or Getrag transaxle was the factory recommended standard, and this configuration was fitted to all turnkey cars.
Ultima focused their marketing efforts on record-breaking activities using a model equipped with a 640 bhp (477 kW) American Speed engine, called the Ultima GTR640, and subsequently, a 720 bhp (537 kW) engine called the GTR720. As a result, they established the following official, independently verified records[4] for a production car equipped with road tyres and exhaust:

Fastest 0�60 mph (97 km/h) time: 2.6 seconds[4]
Fastest 0�100 mph (160 km/h) time: 5.3 seconds[4]
Fastest 30 mph (48 km/h)�70 mph (110 km/h) time: 1.8 seconds[4]
Fastest 100 mph (160 km/h)� 0 mph time: 3.6 seconds[4]
Fastest 0�100 mph (160 km/h)� 0 mph time: 9.4 seconds[4]
Best performance on a skidpad: 1.176g lateral grip in a 200 ft (60 m) circle.
Fastest road car over the 1/4 mile: 9.9 seconds @ 143 mph (230 km/h)
Due to its curb weight of 990 kg (2,183 lb),[5] the power-to-weight ratio for the GTR720 is 727 hp (542 kW) per tonne, which is a better ratio than the Bugatti Veyron, Enzo Ferrari, Ascari A10, Koenigsegg CCX or CCGT, but less than the Koenigsegg CCXR or the Caparo T1. However, the Ultima chassis is rated for engines up to 1,000 bhp (700 kW) and some of Ultima's customers have fitted engines producing 1,000 bhp (700 kW) or more,[6] for a power-to-weight ratio of over 1,000 hp (746 kW) per tonne, which is approximately twice the power-to-weight ratio of the aforementioned cars and nearly the same as the Caparo T1's (1170 hp/tonne, but this is a "dry" tonnage and the hp/tonne would be reduced once oil, coolant, gasoline, etc. are added, compared to the Ultima figures above which are "wet" weights).

The GTR720 was independently timed lapping the Top Gear test track in 1 minute 12.8 seconds, which is at least 1 second faster than all other times listed on the Top Gear television programme's Power Board.[7][8][9] In October 2009 Ultima set another time of 1 minute 9.9 seconds, but this time in a configuration not suitable for use on public highways. Ultima have been keen to point out that this time is faster than those set by both the Ferrari FXX and the Caparo T1; of which neither were deemed to be acceptable road cars by the Top Gear presenters shortly after these times were set.

In 2011, Romanian workshop Black Falcon Cars mated an Ultima GTR chassis and a modified Porsche GT3 transmission with a Chevrolet V8 turbocharged by Nelson Racing Engines to achieve 1,716 bhp (1,280 kW) on racing fuel and made it fully road legal under the brand name Black Falcon SBC-TT1750.
In 2015 the GTR and Can-Am names were retired and replaced by the Ultima Evolution range, which represents a complete reengineering of the package.
