CraigHew Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 First review of the Ultima Evolution is in the October CKC mag. It appears to be staggering in all respects.... The price: a cool £120k (although lesser spec models reduce in price)The engine: 6.8litre supercharged V8 The Power: 1020bhp and 920ft lb torque Speed stats: 0 to (60 in 2.3) (100 in 4.9) (150 in 8.9) seconds You can, apparently, build any model yourself at home including the top spec one above.........Blimey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chriss1455 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 It looked truly stunning at stoneleigh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTR2Turbo Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I think they missed an opportunity to update the bodywork which now looks too - how shall I say - 'Kit car' quality. At this price it needs more detail and aero design. I'd rather it look more like a current LMP car for example Had a look around BAC Mono today and those things are stunning design in comparison. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleggy the Spyder Man Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I have always thought that the thought of owning one of these machines is better than the actual reality Only in my opinion - but too fast, too many low edges, goldfish bowl window and poor visibility - would I own one ? Yes please :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingster Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Had a look around BAC Mono today and those things are stunning design in comparison. I agree, that thing looks bl**** brilliant - very, very modern and stylish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Algar - Competition Secretary Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I think they missed an opportunity to update the bodywork which now looks too - how shall I say - 'Kit car' quality. At this price it needs more detail and aero design. I'd rather it look more like a current LMP car for example Had a look around BAC Mono today and those things are stunning design in comparison. I agree, also I have heard that their handling isn't that great which is a real shame given that the power put into them is continuing to increase to crazy levels for the road. Noble who originally designed them has of course moved on to greater things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John K Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Sounds potentially epic, but I do wonder about the safety of the combination of up to 1,000 bhp and a self build. Or even a factory build. Things have to be bob on when playing in the big league... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I suspect the Venn diagram of people who decide they want that sort of power, to build it themselves, to not buy a big name super car and to be able to afford the price tag is small enough to not be a huge worry!
