Acceleration and braking on a combined scale? You really aren't that up on your automotive history are you? 0-100-0 is a long standing performance benchmark. Perhaps if you knew about all the fanfare in the 60's about the cobra's performance in this test are if you actually knew about any of the subject matter you were commenting on you wouldn't make such ignorant statements.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i'm very into cars, but this test doesnt say anything to me,i didnt live in the sixty's and i dislike american cars. No one i know is familiar with this test, who needs this?no one!thanks for your comment!
Mclarensenna, first of all you need to check your tone man! Second of all, if you do some research you will see that a K7 Suzuki GSX-R 1000 can beat that car's acceleration 0-150 mph (look in FastBikes Dec 07 issue, datalogged, verified acceleration runs). Irrespective, I said it was a VERY fast car. But on public roads, bikes are ALWAYS faster (bye bye at the first sign of traffic).
Wow, as fast as my £8,000 GSX-R 1000... VERY impressive for a car, esp. the 0-150 in 11.8. Most "fast" cars haven't reached 100 in 11.8. I'd still beat him on the road though (he can't go down the middle of two lanes of traffic, ha ha!)
Looks like sh*t. With great performance like that, it would be an icon, even a world-beater, if it were not for the ugly, kit car looks. As such, it slips into being merely a footnote in history, regardless of its considerable strengths. BTW- 0-XXXmph defines "quick", but only top speed defines "fastest". The latest SSC Aero is the new record holder for "fastest", not the Ultima. 257 mph. 7+ than Veyron.
It does not claim to be the fastest only the quickest, If you took the Ultima GTR, an SSC and a Bugatti around a track the Ultima would flat out murder.
Hmmm, well, if you put it that way, the Radical V8 hasn't been beat yet at the Nurburgring, by this much vaunted Ultima. Strange, but all they mention in this video is the straight-line stuff.
"256, not 257"? What kind of mental midget corrects someone about such a miniscule difference? Well here is a gold star to wear on your forehead, so everyone will know that you memorize excruciating minutiae. Wear it with pride, and don't forget to show your mom.
Hey when talking about the worlds fastest production car a miniscule difference does make a difference, the guy doesnt even know the veyrons fastest mph. So kickinbackinOC, why dont you kick back and shut up.
Fuck you, asshole. You can suck my cock, you little shithead. You're like the "Rain Man" of automotive triva, walking around with your little beany copter on your head, feeling oh-so-proud about catching someone in a mistake. Your asshole is sucking wind, little faggy boy.
Wrong on all counts. It is classed as a production car, holds the record for lateral g cornering,(not bad for a shit handling car eh?) Also, define cool? The only 'cool' car to come from the usa in the last 20 years is the z06.
this car looks the way it is because it's made for down force, and lots of it. by the way what do you drive, a riced out civic or a beat to hell camaro?
someone has one of these where i work. i see it sometimes in the car park, had NO idea it was this mental! thought it was just some funny-looking kit car...
acceleration is more important than speed around a curvy track and plus on a track you rarely go top speed. These cars are pretty even up to speeds of 150 or 170mph later where the veyron will dominate because of its more powerful engine
Less than a two months ago a small British car company represented its version of ultimate race car for the road drive based on Chevrolet V8 engine which provides 730 hp and entered the Guinness Book of World Records beating the Veyron's time by five hundredths of a second. 720 GTR scorches from 0 to 60 mph in 2.6 seconds, from 0 to 100 mph in 5.3 seconds, and brakes to 0 in 3.6 seconds (not including drivers reaction time). No traction control devices or ABS braking aids were used.
it's very sad! To make a car go from 0 to 100 and to 0 again in less than 10secs, you have to make it not only powerful but extraordinarily hideous as well...
poor design. Go check out an Enzo or a Carrera GT...
HAHAHA someone said the Veyron has better handling than this car LOL. This not a fashion car like the Veyron it's a pure performance/track car with all its emphasis on handling and track speed. The Ultima would run rings round a Veyron at under 3 times it weight compared to slinging 2 fucking tons round the corners.
of course they would buy this car if they loved performance. If you take a look at the site then you'll see just how it compares to other super cars and how it actually beats the veyron on a number of tests!
and yeh freshfruit, the new bristol fighter t coming out is set hit 60 in 3.5secs with the potential of hitting 270mph. lovely jubbly!
i'm upset at how the veyron has been touted as the finest piece of automotive engineering ever. it is pur compromise. it's not the best at anything. it's fast but then it ought to be doing 2 gallons per mile.
don't even get me started on the looks and as for that hideous audi automatic gearbox!!
puncru, get a clue. I didnt know the italians were making cars with 1440 bhp these days (gtr has 720 bhp) Also, the gtr720 costs around 70k... probabley around 30k cheaper than a entry level ferrari. People who love performance would choose this car, people who love to brag would buy a ferrari.
Actually the Veyron is reported to be rather dull to drive, sound boring from the inside. And it also costs around £800k I think, whereas an Ultima can be built to a similar spec to this one for around £50k. I know what I'd choose....
veyron is much better looking than this car. Better performing and handling too. Although the koeniggseg is a better performer. I can't wait until Top Gear lets the Stig get his hands on a Veyron to go round their track
But u have to remember the 4000+lb car has bigger engine and it has electronic driving assists, while the 2180lb has none of that. Believe me a computerized car preforms very well despite its weight.
any company could build a light ass car and beat this ultima. It looks average though but i wonder how much it costs. lol - brit car! italian's can make cars twice as powerful but they focus on class! this cars not bad looking but from inside it looks like ur driving a go cart.
so what, it owns but its plain ugly, an ugly soulless race-machine, all the problems they have with the veyron is due to its elegant but disadvantageous design, if bugatti give the veyron an ugly flat duck-bill and steal the rest from ferrari- and mclaren-layouts - it would probably be as good
good design costs performance, its a decision not an incapability
it takes the gtr only 2.6 seconds to reach 60 mph.... don't think it needs 6.8 seconds to get to a standstill...
and the bugatti veyron is a nice pice of engineering... it has 1000 bhp... but weights a incredibly heavy 1980 kg / 4365 lbs !!! this gives you a much less impressiv spec of 500 hp per ton (2200 lbs) ... while the gtr has 720 hp per ton...
its not a 0-60-0 ... its a 0-100-0... thats what this video's about... this is the new world record!
i really doubt that any car on sale today would be faster in acceleration and on the track. the car shown in this video has 720 bhp and weights only 2180 lbs (990 kg). you ganna need a jet to catch this one...
haha pathetic - how come he lets that BMW own him at the end, he could proved he had a big bollox regardless of whether he crashed the fucker and wrote it off!!
bugatti weighs close to two tonnes so it wont stop as quickly as the ultima and its not claiming to being faster to a hundred than a veyron its the fastest at going to a 100 n back to zero
It's a first that someone is making excuses FOR the Bugatti but thats right this car is better in light of it's weight.. Man I love this car.. And I'm a Yank, I'm not supposed to know it even exists.. :-)
