Someone once told me Ultima insurance was cheap. When asked why he said because you either respect them and don't crash or you're not able to claim from a box.
Depends on the model. The 6.3L is the Corvette C6 engine and it makes 426hp. You can get up to 800hp. Or if you do the kit car way and build this car yourself (more people do that then buy a built one, it is offered by Ultima) you can make any power you want. I've seen 2200hp versions. Although Ultima sells a new 1600hp, 2700lb version for, a hell of a lot, $3mil. It's called the Maxximus G-force.
Any carbureted pushrod V8 just won't pull its weight like it should. EFI puts it a step up, but otherwise, not really.
BMW's little 301ci V8 in the Ascari A10 has 625BHP. From something not even 5 litres big.
Big blocks are old to me. I'm Gen Y - I like modern stuff. And Germans and the British do get a lot from their stuff. The Viper's 8.3 litre V10 has only 500BHP. Terrible for its size. And it has VVT!
I'm talking broadly, not about your engines, really.
@LordJesseD It's not just power to engine size though. There are a lot more things to think about like engine size and weight. The chevy small block is very small and relatively light for it's size. Then there's torque. Not just peak torque but where it's made too. The bmw engine is quite heavy for it's cc and has a lot more weight high up with all the cams and valve gear up there. That makes quite a difference in something like an ultima.
Modern BMW engines are one of the lightest engines on market you can get. New straight-6 twintubo, weights 340Ibs including all parts installed on. Engine block is made from die cast magnesium-aluminum alloy. 30% lighter than standard al-alloy block. Older S65 V8 from M3 weights 440Ibs fully dressed. Only engine builder comparable with DOHC design is AMG. AMG engine in SLS 6.2 V8 weights 470Ibs, same like LS7. Technology always win.
@2jzgtejza80 The only issues there are the weight being much higher up in the engine - in an Ultima that would be a killer for CofG, lack of power and a big lack of torque from most and in all cases cost. If you use the money left over from buying the engines to build an SBC you will get a LOT more power for the same money.
You also have to include all the other bits for the tech like ecu, intercoolers, etc - it all adds weight the SBC doesn't need. Tech sometimes wins.
Ford DOHC design sucks in weight, but it's reliable. Well SBC are good if carrying all modern stuff like LS7/LS9. Engine weight can compensated by reducing weight of car. Example is McLaren F1 which weights 1100kg, but S70/2 BMW V12 engine weights alone 265kg or 585Ibs. Same thing is with AMG V12 in CLK GTR and Zonda's, specially in Zonda R, where weights 235kg or 517Ibs what is excelent for V12. For example LS9 is 540Ibs fully dressed.
When you are buliding ultimate race car like FXX, Zonda R, you dont watch about money. But if you are building cars like British Ariel Atom, Caterham, Westfield, Radical etc. and Ultima GTR, Shelby Cobra... you are usually limited by budget. Light cars can use smaller engines instead SBC. Ultima GTR with LS7 and G50 transaxle is perfect for track days. And price same as standard ZO6, makes Ultima much faster and fun to drive. Sometimes engineer need find balance.
1/2 way thru film the car is leaving upper tumble towards Llannon, and then takes a left in Llannon heading down to Hendy (Llanelli). Sorry if this info has been done b4. shame I was not about to c it. nice vid
even though i'm 20, i bought myself a caterham 7 kit car. nearly finished. dad and i are putting it together in the garage. its really good fun to build.
i would love to have the new one, but as i'm 20, i doupt i'll be able to handle it. i use the motor bike to get to and from work. the only reason why i can afford the caterham is because i'm a personal trainer at a local gym.
yeah, what you could so it just stick with the stock motor till you get used to it, then mod it to make more power and then get used to it and on and on till you have a weapon. once im in the military i will be able to afford on if i save really good, but if not i iwll just spend the money on my mazda and make it fast haha. still not the same as a caterham tho.
I'm jealous, awesome car mate. Those roads were a bit poxy though, what you need to do is head up on the A470 to Dogellau, then towards Bala and find the Evo triangle. Amazing roads where you'd really be able to let her rip.
veyrons are a waste of money, would only get one if it was handed to me (like thats gonna happen).
The GTR Twin Turbo when tuned to over 800+ bph would just about beat the veyron and round a track would hammer it. think, it aint that its 800+break, but its like nearly 1300bph per tonne, a veyron is noway near that.
And Fergiec, if its ure dream car you know you can build one for like £20k. i gonna in a year or two.
i taut it was 50,000 for the parts and an extra 20,000 to have them build it or u could build it yourself? as i said an ultima is one of my dream cars, id also like to have one in a few years, i cant imagine there being many here in Ireland.
urm, i'm actually really considering making one. I was intent on a Dax Tojeiro (Ac cobra), but my mind is gettin changed i think! Its strange, but the sites order form states just under 16k (exc. VAT) but i'm tryin to find out what thats lacking. It includes the majority of the engine etc, but i think lacks the wheels...but not much else. The funny thing is most sites say it costs about 30k-40k depending if u want to source parts or get brand new ones from Ultima... i'll find out soon.
ultimasports. co . uk is the place that make em. why order from the US, i imagine the engine is the only thing u may need from the states and im sure u could get it in the uk for a similar price if u contacted ultimaltd
bomboclutz, you simply can't complare an ultima to a veyron, they're two completely different cars. the veyron has Traction control, Anti lock brakes, stability management, air-con, power steering, power windows, cruise control, sterio, CD player, leather interior, creature comfort, lauch control and the list goes on. you need to know that the two can't compare and that you should stop labelling a car as "better" because you obviously have no idea what you're talking about. veyron for me please.
The fastest GTR I saw tops @ approx 240 but gets there WAY faster than the Veyron. The Veyron is about twice the GTR's weight and is geared for "dick waving rights," the GTR is geared for approx the longest straight you'll see on most race tracks.
So if you want dick waving rights about top-speeds that it will never see on most race tracks, then buy a Veyron, but if you want something that THRASHES a Veyron on twisty roads or race tracks: LS7-TT in a GTR.
no man u didnt read my other posts i was quoting what dat dosy bitch laraki101 said, ultima gtr is one of my dream cars along with a tvr sagaris and lotus exige and an audi r8. i would never bother with a veyron even if i was rich.
Ultima GTR is fastest accelerator/deccelerator in the world... 0-100mph-0 in less than 10 seconds! It's Top speed isn't as high as the Bugatti or SSC Aero, but I gather that this car would win on the race track.
@orkust same with all kit cars really if youve built it your not gonna wonna crash it and if you do crash it youll be able to repare it, insurance premiums are based on the number of claims ect
only thing faster about the veyron is top speed but the SCC ultimate aero tt has a higher top speed than the veyron. the veyron is just a heavy beast with no records... its so sad
You would be too if you had nearly 500bhp on tap in a car that weighs less than a metric ton on wet public roads! Feather that throttle and you're doing twice the speed limit! Give it anymore and you won't have a life or even a license for your wheel chair!!!
You are-the Ultima does 0-100 in 5.3 seconds_ I'll let you look stupid all on yr own! 0-100-and back to 0 is 9.4 seconds. Check yr facts first amishwoman........
you are wrong, 0-100 and back to 0 again in 9.4 seconds is a huge difference from just 0-100. The Ultima does 0-100 in 5.28 seconds as FitFast8 rightly said above.
actually if you're talking about speed then you have a two cars in front of the veyron, first the hennesy tt viper and then the ssc aero, which has beaten the veyron's speed record. but if you are talking about track performance you can't get any better than the ultima gtr
i'm talking about to 200 mph, sorry should have stated that, but i don't know the top speed of the hennessy, but i know the aero has a faster top speed than the veyron
ow ok yea I think the hennessy is pretty much even with the veyron at top speed but I think it gets there quicker and the offical top speedo of the aero is 256.7 or somethin close to that. But they say it can go faster.
Fools! Anyone who states the Ultima GTR is not impressive should do us all a favor and kill themselves now. American V8 "Shyt"? Moron is right! Fucking jackass! You have no clue that this car is the World record holder for 0-100-0 in under 10 seconds. Oh, that's right....I guess for Faggoty "LeCar" or stupid Renault will beat the GTR huh? Imbeciles!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
walwarrior ur wrong this car may have a world record but u need to do some research...from 0-100 in about 8 seconds is slow. the bugatti varon has a 8.0 L quad-turbocharged W16 which puts out 1001 hp + top speed around 252. 0-60 in 2.4 sec. or 124 in 7.4 secs. or in this case 0-100 the varon does 0-100 in 5.5s......thus blowing the gay Ultima GTR out of the water! now whos a jackass.....u r sir. u r!
Erm, no it's you anamishwoman, it's definitely you. The Ultima in question went from 0-100 in 5.3secs. And as your Veyron makes it in 5.5secs, then, erm, hang on.....UR THE JACKASS SIR. U R!!!!!!
don't need to look it up. depends what you mean by 'blow it out the water'. Straight line top speed. Yup, the Veyron would take it, no problem at all. 0-60? No. 0-100? No. 0-100-0? No
It costs around 3 million to make a Veyron (they make about a 2 mill loss on each car they sell). It costs £3.50 exactly to make an Ultima. Mind you, you do get a radio, comfy seat and air con in the Veyron. And you don't have to build it yourself. But 'blow it out the water?' I think not.
i most deff! think it still blows it out of the water...its the fastest street legial car ever made! u have 2 pay a price for the best...it dnt have a radio or air cond cuz it not only adds weight but u dnt need that stuff 1 an air cond wont fit cuz the moter is so big 2 u dnt need air cond cuz it goes so fast and u dnt need a radio cuz u wont b able 2 hear it
again the best car u can buy for preformance is the veyron...and spelling something wrong dnt mean "i kno nothing about cars" makeing u the moron....leave it to a loser 2 pick out stupid things such as spelling 2 crack on someone....sry...u dnt kno me so dnt say shit that u kno nothing about
i agree but a veyron is money spent well 2....cant afford 2 get a skyline cuz im on 19 and an add. fee of w.e it cost to get it shipped 2 the u.s. cuz they arnt made here
An Ultima recently ran 9.9seconds on the 1/4 mile, a Veyron runs 10.4. The Veyron is not as fast as the Ultima GTR700 from 0-100-0. The Ultima weighs about half as much and has around a third less power, and loses less of the power through the transmission line. For driving fast on any given track or road, the Ultima is the better car.
Thought I read somewhere recently that the Skyline would be well over 60k? If that's the case, then GTR is the better bargain, IMO. I'm not in that tax bracket yet, so I'm in the "lesser" fun car bargain, Mazdaspeed3.
Hm. You got a bunch of thumbs-down's. Maybe because you're definitely in the wrong here. Do some research so you can come back and apologize to everyone for being an idiot.
this car is so amazing, im obsessed. just started saving hahaha. even with a small 300hp small block approx 225kw still equates to 4.4kg/kw same as porsche 911 GT3. you'll get absolutely blistering performance out of the smallest engine and be doing sub 5 seconds 0-62mph (0-100km/h). i love it thats all i can say.
Nice vid. Brave man owning/drivng a car like that in Wales? You still have your licence? Props for not putting some shitty music on the video either..
Thats what I like about this video, the driver seems to know not to take the car to its limits. If you have ever driven in the Welsh mountains, you would know that you don't hammer it everywhere, or you will crash. It is that simple.
I would like to see this car get a clear run of Pen Y Pas, that would be interesting, I've seen all kinds of cars up there, and been in a Lamborghini Gallardo for a couple of Pen Y Pas runs, that was some experience.
But he didn't exceed any speed limits. That's not apparent in the video. And the proof is he would have killed someone if he exceeded a speed limit. After all speed kills. The government can't be wrong. Politicians never lie or misinform [end of sarcastic mode]
Morris Minors never were that type of car. Plus it's how old?? Even the Maclaren F1 (British) is from the early 90's and that wiped the floor with American cars.
Actually, that sound you hear is an awesome American engine... or else they'd not pick it for the GTR, moron. There's the Chevy v8 with 720 hp engine for the GTR, as well. If it was 'shyt', they'd not bother with it. Youre mad Americans have a part in such a world record car, I know. Poor thing. LOL! :)
nah you can have various engines in them, its a chevy v8 small block, you can have from 300bhp to over 700bhp, you would think ppl who own these cars might know a little about them!

At normal driving (cruse) in highest gear probably 30MPG, it's light car, at low rpm you just using torque.
6.2 liter engines with 480 hp can be very efficient at low speeds, but when you press pedal down you are under 10MPG easily.

You would be too if you had nearly 500bhp on tap in a car that weighs less than a metric ton on wet public roads! Feather that throttle and you're doing twice the speed limit! Give it anymore and you won't have a life or even a license for your wheel chair!!!

You are-the Ultima does 0-100 in 5.3 seconds_ I'll let you look stupid all on yr own! 0-100-and back to 0 is 9.4 seconds. Check yr facts first amishwoman........
FitFast8 4 years ago
i did check my facts thank you. im not wrong
anamishwoman 4 years ago
you are wrong, 0-100 and back to 0 again in 9.4 seconds is a huge difference from just 0-100. The Ultima does 0-100 in 5.28 seconds as FitFast8 rightly said above.
jps512007 4 years ago
actually if you're talking about speed then you have a two cars in front of the veyron, first the hennesy tt viper and then the ssc aero, which has beaten the veyron's speed record. but if you are talking about track performance you can't get any better than the ultima gtr
trackx07 4 years ago
how fast can the hennessy go? I thought it went 255? the aero went 257.
disturbedproject 4 years ago
i'm talking about to 200 mph, sorry should have stated that, but i don't know the top speed of the hennessy, but i know the aero has a faster top speed than the veyron
trackx07 4 years ago
ow ok yea I think the hennessy is pretty much even with the veyron at top speed but I think it gets there quicker and the offical top speedo of the aero is 256.7 or somethin close to that. But they say it can go faster.

Fools! Anyone who states the Ultima GTR is not impressive should do us all a favor and kill themselves now. American V8 "Shyt"? Moron is right! Fucking jackass! You have no clue that this car is the World record holder for 0-100-0 in under 10 seconds. Oh, that's right....I guess for Faggoty "LeCar" or stupid Renault will beat the GTR huh? Imbeciles!

walwarrior ur wrong this car may have a world record but u need to do some research...from 0-100 in about 8 seconds is slow. the bugatti varon has a 8.0 L quad-turbocharged W16 which puts out 1001 hp + top speed around 252. 0-60 in 2.4 sec. or 124 in 7.4 secs. or in this case 0-100 the varon does 0-100 in 5.5s......thus blowing the gay Ultima GTR out of the water! now whos a jackass.....u r sir. u r!
anamishwoman 4 years ago
Erm, no it's you anamishwoman, it's definitely you. The Ultima in question went from 0-100 in 5.3secs. And as your Veyron makes it in 5.5secs, then, erm, hang on.....UR THE JACKASS SIR. U R!!!!!!

lol no im sry im no jackass i kno cars...the varon would still blow it out of the water look it up bun
anamishwoman 4 years ago
don't need to look it up. depends what you mean by 'blow it out the water'. Straight line top speed. Yup, the Veyron would take it, no problem at all. 0-60? No. 0-100? No. 0-100-0? No
It costs around 3 million to make a Veyron (they make about a 2 mill loss on each car they sell). It costs £3.50 exactly to make an Ultima. Mind you, you do get a radio, comfy seat and air con in the Veyron. And you don't have to build it yourself. But 'blow it out the water?' I think not.
doverboy01 4 years ago
i most deff! think it still blows it out of the water...its the fastest street legial car ever made! u have 2 pay a price for the best...it dnt have a radio or air cond cuz it not only adds weight but u dnt need that stuff 1 an air cond wont fit cuz the moter is so big 2 u dnt need air cond cuz it goes so fast and u dnt need a radio cuz u wont b able 2 hear it
anamishwoman 4 years ago
The name of the car you mean is "Veyron" you moron^^ you know nothing abt cars^^

again the best car u can buy for preformance is the veyron...and spelling something wrong dnt mean "i kno nothing about cars" makeing u the moron....leave it to a loser 2 pick out stupid things such as spelling 2 crack on someone....sry...u dnt kno me so dnt say shit that u kno nothing about
anamishwoman 4 years ago
Yes, you could buy a veyron if you have a stupid amount of money (which face it, neither you or I have)
Best car for performance and money wise is the new Skyline GTR - round 40 - 50k for 0-62 in 3.6 secs. Thats money well spent!
bangonit 4 years ago
i agree but a veyron is money spent well 2....cant afford 2 get a skyline cuz im on 19 and an add. fee of w.e it cost to get it shipped 2 the u.s. cuz they arnt made here
anamishwoman 4 years ago
An Ultima recently ran 9.9seconds on the 1/4 mile, a Veyron runs 10.4. The Veyron is not as fast as the Ultima GTR700 from 0-100-0. The Ultima weighs about half as much and has around a third less power, and loses less of the power through the transmission line. For driving fast on any given track or road, the Ultima is the better car.
daniel2001 4 years ago 2
Thought I read somewhere recently that the Skyline would be well over 60k? If that's the case, then GTR is the better bargain, IMO. I'm not in that tax bracket yet, so I'm in the "lesser" fun car bargain, Mazdaspeed3.

this car is so amazing, im obsessed. just started saving hahaha. even with a small 300hp small block approx 225kw still equates to 4.4kg/kw same as porsche 911 GT3. you'll get absolutely blistering performance out of the smallest engine and be doing sub 5 seconds 0-62mph (0-100km/h). i love it thats all i can say.

Thats what I like about this video, the driver seems to know not to take the car to its limits. If you have ever driven in the Welsh mountains, you would know that you don't hammer it everywhere, or you will crash. It is that simple.
I would like to see this car get a clear run of Pen Y Pas, that would be interesting, I've seen all kinds of cars up there, and been in a Lamborghini Gallardo for a couple of Pen Y Pas runs, that was some experience.

Morris Minors never were that type of car. Plus it's how old?? Even the Maclaren F1 (British) is from the early 90's and that wiped the floor with American cars.
scottie9678 5 years ago
Actually, that sound you hear is an awesome American engine... or else they'd not pick it for the GTR, moron. There's the Chevy v8 with 720 hp engine for the GTR, as well. If it was 'shyt', they'd not bother with it. Youre mad Americans have a part in such a world record car, I know. Poor thing. LOL! :)

Its definetly NOT 700rwhp, you could squeeze that out of the engine though. Very easily.
You were told probably, with the weight to HP it feels like its 700.

nah you can have various engines in them, its a chevy v8 small block, you can have from 300bhp to over 700bhp, you would think ppl who own these cars might know a little about them!
