ULTIMA EVOLUTION
COUPE
The Ultima
Evolution retains the same timeless Le Mans Group C inspired body shape as the
Ultima GTR and Ultima Can-Am but is a vastly improved and modernized supercar
in every sense. The superior Evolution model takes the Ultima to even greater
levels of fit, finish, quality, safety, driver comfort, usability,
practicality, handling finesse and performance. Many of the enhancements found
on the new Ultima Evolution model have been stimulated by worldwide customer
demand and feedback. The powerplant for the Ultima Evolution is the fuel
injected LS Chevrolet V8 engine and the factory offers over 15 different power
level options ranging from 350bhp for the base model up to the top of the range
1020bhp model.
The first
Ultima Evolution Coupe production factory built demonstrator flagship model as
pictured is equipped with the monstrous 1020bhp and 920ftlbs torque
supercharged Chevrolet LS V8 official engine option delivering a power to
weight ratio of over 1050bhp/ton which will really shake up the supercar scene
and take the performance envelope of the Ultima to the next level. The new
1020bhp Evolution model has already been tested by the factory and has recorded
a road legal 0-60mph time of 2.3secs, 0-100mph of 4.9secs with 0-150mph taking
a mere 8.9 seconds! It has the capability to accelerate onwards to over 240mph.
The 1020bhp Evolution model will surpass the performance envelope of the famous
Ultima GTR720 current 0-100mph-0 world record holder which blasted around the
top gear test track in full road going configuration in just 1min12.8secs with
full video and GPS verified documentation.
Since the
extremely successful world record holding Ultima GTR and Can-Am were first
launched there have been over 15 years of continuous research and development
taking place at the factory to every facet of the Ultima with many enhancements
gradually introduced to the range. There is virtually no part of the Ultima
Evolution that is in the same specification as when the GTR and Can-Am were first
launched with fundamental changes and enhancements having taken place to the
chassis, bodywork, drivetrain, wheels, cooling system, fuel system, steering
system, suspension, lighting, interior and all key parameters on the Ultima.
The Ultima
Evolution is an exciting new model from Ultima and it embodies all that the
company has achieved with its previous acclaimed models, whilst incorporating a
whole raft of exciting new features. Nothing on the Evolution has been taken
for granted and every area has been meticulously researched before dedicated
components are designed and fabricated by the factory. Unlike many high
performance specialist cars, Ultima doesn't believe in the parts-bin mentality
that sees components scavenged from other models. From designing and
manufacturing its own cast aluminium uprights and hubs to having new body
grills specifically manufactured for the Evolution, Ultima has striven to
ensure there are no shortcuts when it comes to the quality of the end product.
