mrsntw Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 This looks like a nice bit of kit. I'd be lying if I said that I didn't want one! https://www.ultimasports.co.uk/Models/UltimaRS Interestingly enough, I met quite a few people at Stoneleigh - including Ultima owners - who didn't seem overly complimentary about Ultima as a company. I was actually quite surprised as I've been a huge fan of Ultimas since discovered them several years ago and would love to build one, one day. What are people's thoughts? 1 Quote
Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 There's a few owners in the NWKCOG on FB.https://www.facebook.com/groups/trevornwkcg/ I love the look and power, I just doubt they'd be a much fun as a Westie on twisty narrow country roads etc. I'm sure they're a great track toy!

Heard a lot of negative comments in that respect, typically about they look like they might be fragile on track. That could just be down to average build quality though? Quote
Blatman Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 Dream car for me. I'd love to own a road legal "Le Mans prototype (LMP1)" car and the Ultima is (IMHO) as close as anyone can come to realising that dream. The only dream I have that's madder than that (aside from wanting to get up close and personal with Seven of Nine...) is to have a road legal LMP2 car from the mid 2000's, 'cos they're open top...

Man On The Clapham Omnibus Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 Deanna Troi is my fantasy... 👀 Quote
Paul T Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 A mate of mine built one a few years ago and was really impressed by Ultima, they gave him loads of tech support, took t leg car in pre-IVA to give it a once over and even drove out to his house to deliver some missing out parts a few hours after he rang them I've not driven it on track but it’s immense on the road, he has the 500bhp LS3 and it’s bike quick Quote
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 Looks stunning! I suspect it’s all about getting the right balance of level of tune, etc Quote
TableLeg Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 2 very fine looking examples from Stoneleigh this year. 1 Quote

CraigHew Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 It's a fine looking car but my money would go towards a BAC Mono...... Quote

jeff oakley Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 Chris Varey had one and used it on track a lot. I never thought it fragile but hard to keep quiet. they get very hot inside Quote
