A friend of mine found this parked outside home and we were wondering what it is. Looks like a lotus but Im not sure

Ideas...?

automobile

It's an Ultima GTR.

yup.. ultima gtr.. not too hard no recognize!

Thanks bean

hey i saw that Ultima on umm i think it was the Gumball (not sure) but it was something like that and it looked awesome on the race track

Well it does have Gumball stickers

hehe no i remember now, (btw it wasnt the same colour as the one in your pic) it was black and the programme was Cannonball Run: Italy Or Bust, I didn't see it all only watched it up to where they had the track day, I think that car got the fastest time round the track they were on lol...

This car currently holds the world record for 0-100mph and back to 0 again for a road car. Something ridiculous like 6 seconds or something! Ofcourse these cars come with all sorts of differing levels of performance because they can have a variety of engines in different states of tune. The WR i'm on about was the Ultima's own demo car with a heavily worked over chevvy engine.

See these on the trip to Le Mans quite often. You can build one of these cars for around £45k!!

Ultima GTR, a guy that owns one lives somewhere around here, you see it on the road every once in a while, wicked looking and sounding car

damn, i want one..
is it road legal by any chance?

It certainly is.

any possibility of adding a twin turbo?
does it even need one (two)?

a quick look at their site shows that it comes with a 500+ bhp V8, but they say the chassis can handle up to 1000 bhp, so i'd say yes, you could modify the crap out of it.

yea..0-100-0 in 9.4 seconds with a 0-100 in 5.3 seconds....that's just rediculous! It does 0-100 just about as fast as my car does 0-60...lol. I can only imagine what it's like to drive a road-legal car that fast.
