Ultima GTR Usa trip

This site is intresting, an Ultima Gtr 7168 mile trip in the USA,

Check the donut scoffer.

Just shows that these inpractical supercars/track cars can be driven far.

Heh, that's pretty cool. Must have been quite fun, if uncomfortable at times.

The greatness of the car is atually building it YOUR self, how much satisfaction would you get out of that!

It makes me glad to see a supercar have over 5,000 miles put on it instead of these 200 ones you see in the showrooms set by rappers.

Seeing as they are "kit" cars (not really a kit as the large majority of parts are bespoke to Ultima) most owners choose to build the car themselves, I don't think any rapper are up to that task. Because the owners also tend to be enthusiasts, they tend to drive them regularly.

It was originally designed in the 1980s before being sold to current owner Ted Marlow.

As mentioned earlier the fact that you need to spend several months of hard work building the thing, coupled with a much higher cost than the M10 and M12 means that they are never going to be as popular as Noble.

This is a good thing, so long as they make enough money to stay in business, and hopefully at somepoint make a new car.
