  • he still fucked up 2nd to last corner though

  • Some say...he naturally faces magnetic north, and that he is illegal in 17 u.s states. All we know is HE'S CALLED THE STIG

  • Was this ever actually aired on BBC? I just see this lap video, but it does not look like it was ever part of an episode.

  • ferrari fxx did it in 1:10.7. enough said.

  • @RjTibby2727 WATCH ULTIMA GTR BEATS SCHUMACHERS FERRARI FXX TOP GEAR TIME

  • I always wanted a 427 cobra - not anymore. this is the "bucket" car now

  • *Cough*Cough Powered by a Chevy 6.3 v8 (;

  • Just its name.ULTIMA

  • bugatti weight as a truck if u put tires on it you have to put tires on the ultima and the veyron will be beat another time

  • that isnt from top gear

  • Excellent vid mate. Good to be able to hear it aswell as see. it. Many thanks.

  • Obviously it isn't official in any way because it wasn't driven by The Stig, but that's still pretty bloody impressive! What kind of tyres was it on? I imagine they were pretty sticky road or semi-slick tyres.

  • @Mikeado66 245 front 335 rear. Either pirelli rosso's or kumho ecsta V70a's - standard factory fit. They came back with sticky tyres after Schumacher did his run in the fxx and it went into the 9's.

    See it here;

    /watch?v=PqmDi1m6EB0

  • i went in one last week... Oh my god it's unbeleiveable how fast and low it is... and the guy who drove it built it for about £40,000. Who needs a veyron?

  • @YoshiMayhem i think u see the ultima gtr the standard 1 with 535 hp 528 lb but it is still fast !

  • in car was so sick

  • i believe that the caparo T1 beat all of it .. in 1.10.6 ..

    but it wasnt count by jeremy .. coz its not a safe care ..

  • @Mr172914 It didnh't count because the T1 cant go over speed bumps.

  • @Mr172914 @sequisso32 this car did a 1:9.9 but was not road legal form

  • What are you guys on about? It costs £16K plus tax. Check the Ultima website.

  • THIS IS NOT CAR, THIS IS AEROPLANE!!!

  • Looool! It's exactly equal to the GT5 course!

  • @SLaYD666 Why would the shifter be on the right hand side? It must not have very much room to move the stick! Every right hand drive car I've driven have been centre shift, even those with rear engine, such as the GTR. And I have seen centre shift Ultima's before.

  • now thats why they call him the stig there was a few times i thought he was going to wipe out

  • @ssj4gotenks00 I'm pretty sure that was not the Stig driving. I've never actually heard of the Stig driving this car before. Unless I've missed something...

  • 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.

  • @xenomorphelv426 I thought the only change between the 1:12.8 and the 1:9.9 laps was the faster lap used slicks?

  • powered by a corvette chevrolet Motor

  • I don't know if in 2007 they had already tested the Caparo T1, but it did it in 1min and 10.6 seconds.

    And they tested a Renault F1 car that did it in 59 seconds, still don't know when did they test it...

  • @Sequisso32 Around similar time, but to get an official time the car has to obey the official top gear rules which the Ultima does. The Caparo is too Low and the Renault F1 car isn't road legal.

  • @M45her It also helps if the car doesn't burst into flames and burn Jason Plato half to death like the caparo...

  • @Sequisso32 Search „top gear power lap times” on google and take a look at the wikipedia article ;)

  • @Sequisso32 the cars hace to be road cars

  • put slicks on bugatti and it will shatter any record in place.

  • What a pointless comment, and a waste of a decent set of tyres.

  • @M45her i agree ur an idiot kinj

  • @kinjat56 not really, the bugatti's not meant for track, even with slicks. its to heavy, and doesn't have enough grip.

  • @edtri19 no i don't, sorry.

  • @kinjat56 Ok, well basicly the Bugatti is far too heavy to set a decent lap + it can only get 0-60 in 2.5 seconds if it has launch control on which you can only do from the start. The Bugatti is not built for racing, it is built to be a luxury tourer and to be fast yet still extremely comfortable and for that purpose it is magnificent, but its not a drivers car. Top speed is not everything, comprende?

  • @kinjat56 doubt it. that car is way too heavy to be the fastest thing around a track even with slicks

  • @kinjat56 so by putting slicks on a veyron makes it non-legal... if thats the case why not jusr drive a fucking LMP car?

    rules are set to keep it fair...breaking them is.... just stupid.

  • @kinjat56 uh no it wouldnt cause regardless of its top speed being the fastest in the world, its acceleration out of a corner is piss poor because it weighs so much...ergo, slicks wouldnt help...........also, slicks really only make a difference when drag racing, on FWD or RWD cars...the bugatti is AWD and therefore doesnt need them unless you drop the clutch and even then recovers from wheel spin almost immediately...and if you look at F1 and similar race cars......they dont use slicks either.

  • @RayDanger2020 i agree, you are right

  • @RayDanger2020 "Slicks only make a difference when drag racing" ?! Obviously you've never raced and never driven a car with slicks. Slicks make a HUGE difference on any track. You get more rubber on the road vs tires with treads.

  • @RayDanger2020 Slicks are on F1, almost every other form of open-wheel racing, NASCAR, Indy-car, DTM and countless other racing series.

  • @kinjat56 Why would a 4100lb 4WD car need slicks when it's tires cost 20k a set as it is?

  • @NUMBERoneCANIAC offcourse it dosen't but you can never compare a track car with a road car. Ferrari FXX with slicks put on around 9 seconds lap time on topgear compared to 16 something of recent best timings by veyron ss, aventador and mp4. Offcourse slicks are illegale and tear away in over 100 km something of drive but offer the tracytion of an elephant

  • @kinjat56 Yeah but my point is that the veyron weighs 4100lbs because they put a 4WD drivetrain in it to help handle the power, and it's tires are pretty damn close to a cheap set of slicks as far as grip goes. If they wanted it to break records in anything but a straight line they would have made it rwd, taken some of the more useless luxuries out, and put in a twin turbo V8 rather than a 16.4L qwad turbo W16. Plenty of people have made MORE power with literally half the engine

  • @NUMBERoneCANIAC 4WD cars aren't that much heavier than front/rear wheel drive cars... Also the reason the Veyron is 4WD is so that the richboys that buy them can actually control them. RWD is faster in a straight line. Almost every point you made in that comment is false.

  • @Darkfallsification When I said they made it 4WD to help it handle the power I was basically sugar coating what you said. Also, define "not that much heavier." You're completely moronic if you honestly think that a RWD car wouldn't have the advantage on a track, one of the reasons for this being because of it having less weight. It has been proven time and time again. Don't call me out saying that all my statements are false if you don't know what you're talking about.

  • @NUMBERoneCANIAC Never said that RWD wouldn't be faster around a track. Also I know it has been proven that 4WD cars are heavier... Only by about 200-400Ibs though. Fact of the matter is that apart from your point about people making smaller engines with the same power which I never disagreed with you were almost completely wrong about everything else. Also, RWD cars will get off the line a lot faster than 4WD if tuned correctly.

  • @Darkfallsification So you agree that 4WD cars weigh more, (I still feel like you're overlooking how much better a 2,800lb car feels than a 3,200lb car) you agree that they could have used a much smaller powerplant, and you agree that a RWD platform would out perform a 4WD platform at the track. That leaves one thing that you don't agree with so I'm not sure why you keep saying I was completely wrong about so much stuff. Also, try to find me a RWD car that can pull a 2.4s 0-60 in stock trim.

  • @NUMBERoneCANIAC "If they wanted it to break records in anything but a straight line they would have made it rwd" RWD cars are faster in a straight line anyway. This point is invalid. Also factory super cars are not designed to have a fast 0-60 time, they are designed to go fast in a straight line, look good and have good handling. Tune the suspension right on any RWD super car and it would destroy the Veyron's 0-60 time.

  • @Darkfallsification bull fucking shit. You're telling me that they don't tune supercars to get off the line as quickly as possible(within reason)? FUCKING FIND ME A STOCK(!!!) RWD CAR THAT GOES FROM 0-60 IN 2.2 SECONDS. I asked you to do it last time and you ignored that. All I'm asking is for you to back yourself up and provide some proof. I don't fucking care if you can tune a RWD car to get off the line quicker. If you tune it, it isn't STOCK anymore.

  • @NUMBERoneCANIAC I'm going to stop talking to you now. Purely because every time I see one of your comments I feel my brain slowly decaying and my IQ plummeting.

  • @Darkfallsification I really don't understand why you're so hesitant to provide proof that there is a rwd car that is quicker off the line in stock trim than a Veyron. I'm sorry I lost my cool with that last comment. All I'm asking (for the third time) is that you provide me with some proof. If you can do that I will be more than willing to agree that you are correct. If I'm so blatantly wrong, it should be pretty easy to prove me so rather than calling me stupid and reinstating unproven facts.

  • @NUMBERoneCANIAC As far as I know there aren't any. That's because supercars are tuned to handle well, not get off the line fast. The Veyron get's off the line faster because it's 4WD. The suspension on supercars is usually very stiff and is balanced so that the weight is spread evenly. If you really wanted a supercar that was RWD to be good off the line you'd tune the suspension so that the weight transfers to the rear. Doing this though will completely fuck up the handling, so they don't.

  • @Darkfallsification Also, when I said that they would have made it RWD if they wanted it to excel in anything but a straight line, I should have specified that I was talking about a standing start. I figured everyone would have figured that one out given the fact that it gets off the line so quick. And if you want proof about there being plenty of factory twin turbo V8's that make the veyron's 16.4L quad turbo W16 look like a joke, just let me know. There are plenty of them.

  • i thought its the gumpert apollo

  • Had a privilege of driving it on Grobnik track in Croatia. It may be the fastest, but it's also the UGLIEST car I've ever seen. It looks like one of those plastic kit cars. Who designed this thing? A drunk autistic babon? The performace is superb, I was screaming like a little girl gripping the steering wheel but overall... You feel like you're griding your ass on the road under you, no elbow space etc. It's horribly uncomfortable. If I could aford one, I'd buy something else. Not this.

  • Its faster than the Veyron SS.

  • top gear wont test it.

    They didn't pay the show their bribe money.

    These shows are about $.

  • I fucking hate this car so much, just so gay....

  • seen one of these the other day drivin around...shit sounded mean as hell

  • its basically a racing car.

  • That would be too much car for me....

  • You're an artist, if I win the lottery you can put a second pool in your house the next day!

  • lol no it would not.

    you have no fucking idea.

  • does a gtr come standard with short gearing?

  • fxx is faster but it's not road legal :(

  • cant wait to use this track on Gran Turismo 5

  • what a beutiful creation

  • It's weird seeing the whole lap from inside the car: the track looks so different.

  • man i want one of those.

  • great perfomance but ugly car

  • Give the Stig a Go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • WTF steering wheel at the right side and gears at the right too?????

  • Awesome road car?? This is a joke right?

  • yeh that isnt road legal and that time wasnt gonna go on the lap board anyways it was done by a test driver for ultima not the stig =)

  • Worstdriverintheworld, you don't know taste.

  • It might be quick but urgh, its ugly

  • crazy fast

  • brutality

  • The caparo T-1 is no road car. It may be just legal but its not going over any humps and you couldn't really use it on the road.

    The FXX isn't even a road car in the legal sense and when it lapped it had slicks and schuey at the wheel.

    Either way you could stil argue they were faster but ultima have been back and got a 1:09.9 - look it up on here.

  • Oh and while I think of it that wasn't on slicks and was driven to the track and back - as it always is with its records.

  • With slicks on.

  • and the ferrari FXX made it around in 1:10

  • BUT as ive said it breaks the Top Gear rules, fuck me don't you read?

  • lol

  • Actually, the Caparo T1 made it in 1:10:xx

  • I agree with you on that

  • UltimaGTR720 now done a 1min9.9secs! See Ultima website!

    faster than Schumacher in his £1million FXX!!

  • Plus you can pick one up for about £50,000 on pistonheads! True value for money :D

  • Yours for $124 849.79CAD on TradeMe. (that's a NewZealand site, and that is converted from 160000NZD) only has 1000km haha what a fuckin good deal, why would you want a corvette, or a r8 when you can get basically the fastest car in the world, for less.

  • This is fullr road legal. Has air con, stereo, luggage compartments etc. Looks awesome. And affordable! Anybody who thinks can't go over a speed hump, it can ask the hundreds of owners of these cars!

  • the current fastest car on top gear tract is gunpert apollo

  • Not true. The fastest car on the top gear track is the Caparo T1. Driven by The Stig around the track in 1:10.6.

    2 seconds faster than the Ultima GTR

  • Even faster than that is the Renault Formula 1 car in 59 seconds, yet it isn't street legal. It IS however on the board.

  • yeah but they arent considered as the normal production cars...cuz in the late episodes.. Gumpert apollo is still on the top and ultima gtr and  caparo arent on the list...

  • ok, so how much do one of these cost?

  • 130,000$ used in new zealand, unbelievable but true.

  • That isn't a road going car with road going tyres is it, do you see it on the board? No.

  • Who would want to drive such a car on the road though? I'd consider the fastest road car on the board to be the CCX

  • this isnt the top gear test track record the formula 1 done it under the magic time of under a minute!!

  • they only count street legal, purchasable, speed bump capable cars as power laps. a plane did a lap in 38 . something sec.

  • They make these like a mile away from wer i live =) crazy car.. but these also the noble factory thats like just down the road from me house... midlands supercars =D

  • owenvipermap - Inappropriate use of the word like is very annoying. Are you American?

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • i am american, and i will tell you... most people are just like the stereotypes you have in europe. but please keep in mind there are exceptions like me. i dont assume all europeans are weird accent ugly fags who go to have a jolly time playing cricket. because you arent. we arent like that either.

  • I bet that thing can't go over speedbumbs.

  • Yeah, it can actually. It was just adjusted for this race.

  • it can't cause if it did it would be on the top gear power board cause thats the test. :D

  • wow what a car

    this is a wounderfoul race car ....all thinks on this car are great ..

    and very good driving

  • Caparo T1:1min 10.6sec

    AM's DBR9 did it in: 1min 8sec

    Renault R24 did it in: 59 seconds

    i knowthese aret allowed on the board but they are still faster.

  • Caparo breaks the Top Gear rules though so doesn't count.

  • CAPARO TI 1MIN 10.6 SEC

  • fuck a bugatti, if thats geared up right it will do 250mph and you would have a lot more fun in one of those for a fraction of the price, go on ultima and britain

  • Without the spoiler it might do it...

  • they gt one to do 250 in sweden with a spoiler but that ws a bit more tuned up than this one

  • Yeah, this is a 720BHP factory one.

    Was the one you mean a silver/grey one with a Toyota V8? I know that one.

  • @omegagtr Ultima is powere by an 100% American Power train made by chevrolet bud nothing brit abt that.

  • @suckitgood101 POWERED BY CHEVY , CHEVY 4 LIFE !! Thumbs up pls!

  • i dont see the driver shifting i didnt know they made tiptronic GTR's

  • I've only seen one for my own eyes, and it was in Canada.

  • what for a motor does it have?

  • Some form of Chevy V8, provided you don't have your own engine. I think a 377ci V8 is the minium out of two versions.

    I don't know much about the car, though.

  • This is the GTR720 so this particular car was built by Ultima with a GM LS series engine making 720 hp. It's an LS7 i believe.

  • Its fully road legal and can go over any speed hump in the world its a road car. They look awesome in the flesh

  • it doesn't count tho cos its gotta be able to clear road humps

  • it can

    its one hell of a car

  • it's not street legal

  • Yes it is.

  • it is actualy...

  • 4 real? I just can't picture this car going over a bump or anything other than a perfectly smooth road

  • the front is about 3 inches off the ground, so its hard to take a speedbump, but a normal road is no problem, racecars are about one inch off the ground.

    Besides that its possible that its not roadlegal in some countries, but it is in the US and most of europe.

  • you guys are all from different countries....remember that.

  • if a car can clear a road bump and pass smog then its legal.

  • Cars have to be road legal and capable of clearing a speed bump!

  • caparo t1 1:10

    renault f1 0:59

  • It does have air conditioning, And a stereo, leather trim, luggage compartments etc. Road car!

  • This is a production spec road car which has destroyed supercars at a fraction of the price. Great stuff Ultima!

  • yeah but... no Air conditioning and all i mean ok ok ok its the fastest but it isnt the same ... but yeah is faster and cheaper

  • if you think that is impressive, search for "norma m20 onboard alain castallena" here on youtube. that is awesome

  • P.S. God damn it looks like a GTR with cerebral palsy.

  • Is that thing production spec? If its not it doesn't make a difference.. An F1 car did that track in less than a minute.

  • che spettacolo questo programma è stupendo anche se il presentatore è un coglione che non capisce un cazzo di macchine

  • lol, i love it that reasonably priced cars like the Atom and this Ultima can hang with the beefy super cars that cost as much as houses

  • if the stig had his hands on the ultima gtr it would have went in under 1.10

  • Look at 0:40 I think the Stig is driving it

  • look at 1:13 thats not stiggys helmet

  • thats the old stig that got fired

  • but the old stig never had a plastic visor style helmet it was the same as the new stigs but black i dont think its stiggy still but im not 100%

  • its nt the stig, its anoficial tester for ultima sports

  • Feel like ive touched a yank nerve. Oh dear.

  • Wow "and confusion sets in" I was using my sons Mac. I failed to change the name. In the hypercritical boiler-room of Youtube mistakes like that can lead to moral disruption, on a planetary scale. I was hoping that the content of my comments would I.D. the culprit, guess not. I hope I'm banned or something.

  • While we're being critical... You seem like a smart guy, sundog47's aging father, but please learn when and where to use commas.

  • Try Honda engined. Chevy? I'd rather walk.

  • My lawnmower is a Honda, does that count. Let me guess you don't like American products, or Americans do you. That in itself is not hard to understand. When a car like this is built, it redefines a measure of engineering that the Euro-brain has no ability to understand. The genesis of this car goes back to the formula 5000. It is a descendant of the Mclaren/Chevy.

    The winning-est combo in road racing history. Honda was still trying to figure out this "car thing" at that point Good video thanks

  • It's warms the heart to see the big block Chevy kick the so called super cars asses. I know all the excuses and exclusions, all the whiners, all the crying and complaining. No a/c, no leather wrapped steering wheel, no 1325 speaker stereo, no self adjusting turn signal lever, and worst of all this thing doesn't cost a million dollars. Maybe you Euros should rethink what "Fast Cars " are all about. Quit trying to bullshit the world, and try to keep up.

  • y'idiot, any fast engine would make this well balanced car run circles around anything. IT's built in England anyway. Stupid americans!? Read the newsweek article, it has letters and paragraphs in it, you're intellectually inferior to most of the western world, that's a fact, but anyway. Transmission isn't american either. Power to weight ratio is superb. Isn't the engine dummy, it's the engineering, if it were the engine, then we'd see your lame vettes or vipers on this list. Y'idiot.

  • I know where its built you limey douche bag and fuck you right back for the Stupid comment. If you didn't have your head so far up your ass you would see that I was complementing the Engineering. I am a retired Engineer that designed and built shit that is on mars (and still working) The only fact you brought forward is your hatred for the country you Brits founded, you know the one that saved your self righteous asses in WWII. We only asked in return a burial place for our fallen. Fuck you.

  • I am American, and while I don't necessarily agree that we are intellectually infereior to anyone (sfxrules), but I have to say sundog47 you are the kind of people that make our country look like a buch of jackasses. Fucking hicks who cannot get over the fact that "American" cars are simply not the best. I say that with quotations because most American cars aren't even built there. Grow up and see the light for once, and stop embarassing yourself and all of us Americans too.

  • It's all in jest you wanker. I fly jets and the car thing is a joke perpetuated by some of my friends in the auto industry. I drive a MB 6.9 sedan, and an H-1 Hummer. I live in paradise, not the stuffy assed mainland, where for some reason 20 year old wonders, actually believe that someone gives a shit what they say. Maybe when your nut sack drops you will understand that we are a free soceity and can say anything we wish, joking or not. Spit out the tit boy, the world is full of fun...

  • Until you get shot for being ignorant.
