Pant creaming videos of Ultima GTR

splinemodel

Some people seemed to get in a tizzy over the this Chrysler 412. Herr Jonathan has a thing for the Koenigsegg. And there's certainly a lot of buzz about the Enzo, GT40, and all sorts of other supercars coming out these days.



But the Ultima GTR is definitely my favorite. No radio, no heater, no roll down windows. That's f-cking serious. No cupholders either. And the exhaust note sounds like thousands of animals dying.



Best of all, they have videos on their web site that make me cream my pants. Watch especially the speed trials at the end. This thing reels in an Exige out of a corner faster than anything I've ever seen. . . and I like how the porsche gets out of the way for it.

It's got two too many wheels.

I understand there being a Porsche or two on that track,

as well as what look like some old racing models,

but what's with all the boxy imports doing laps?

was it Hyundai, Lada, and Skoda day?

Is that a street legal production car?

ooops wrong thread

wtf are you talking about? I just asked a simple question. After reading the site I know now that it's a kit car that can be street legal. Simple question and simple answer.

Of all the cars listed here, the GT40 is the closest thing to a car that would actually be taken out to Highway 1 on any given weekend. That's what makes it attractive. It's barely a super-car, and the appeal is almost purely in its looks rather than what's under the hood or how fast its track times are.



The Ultima GTR is nothing of the sort. It looks like something you'd see in the GTS class of LeMans or ALMS.

I was impressed to see the driver hang the rear out in a power drift with those big fat rear tires on wet pavement. Conditions like that in a MR car are usually formulaic for a spin-out, but maybe the driver was just very, very talented.

to the les paul custom ultima guitar

Booooring.



And hey they can´t´even figure out to place the wheel on the right side of the car.

I like that part when the car goes fast.
