One of British car manufacturing's best kept secrets, Ultima Sports Ltd, produce the world's quickest supercar - fact. It has broken several world records for a road-going car including the fastest time from 0-100-0mph. According to Jeremy Clarkson "it's an amazing road car the Ultima GTR, it has broken just about every single speed record there is to break".
The really exceptional point about Ultima is that all this world-beating performance is available for a fraction of the cost of most ot the supercars they outpace!
Born in 1992, out of acclaimed automotive engineer and designer Lee Noble's original company, Ultima Sports, under the expert stewardship of Ted and Richard Marlow, has carefully and continously developed the original car into the current GTR (launched 1999) and the roadster version the Can-Am (launched in 2001).
An earlier Ultima Mk3 was even used as a prototype 'mule' by Mclaren during the development of the iconic F1
Produced at the factory in Hinkley, Leicestershire, both the GTR and the Can-Am have now been replaced with updated models to be known as the Evolution Coupé and Evolution Convertible respectively. Both models can be supplied as turnkey cars, though according to Ultima Sports the majority of customers derive most satisfaction in receiving their car in component form for self-assembly. In spring 2019 Ultima announced their new model the RS, which joins the range.
