GTR | Canam | Sports | Spider
| |
Launched in 1999
The exciting GTR was no less than fourteen months in development and the result is a product that takes the low-volume super car to new levels of fit, finish and performance. And the GTR really is a super car in every sense of the word. With a top speed of over 200 miles per hour (using the company's high performance engine option) the new car is more than a match for all but a handful of competitors. Add into the equation the huge cost of any of these alternatives and the short list ceases to be a list at all - you're simply left with Ultima!
The GTR uses the chassis and suspension package already road and race tested in the company's existing Sports model, but from here on the GTR has required a comprehensive redesign. Not a single panel is carried over onto the new car and, whilst the result gives the GTR a smoother more productionised feel, there's considerably more to it than just a fashion upgrade...
Aerodynamic efficiency has been of paramount importance on a car that is capable of over 200mph. Attention has centered around lengthening the rear of the car to help clean up the airflow and thus improve down force. These developments have been comprehensively tested at MIRA (the Motor Industry Research Association) where the group was so impressed by the results that it was happy to have the Ultima GTR as the center of its show display at the 2000 Auto sport International show at the NEC in Birmingham.
Whilst the GTR can be ordered as a turnkey super car, it is also available in component form, for assembly by the home enthusiast. As part of the GTR's gestation period, a great deal of time was spent to ensure that this is the easiest of all Ultima's models to put together and enjoy.

Ultima is the UK's leading self-assembly super car manufacturer and, for the first time ever, its sensational Can-Am is available in component form to enthusiasts in the United States. Supplied straight from the factory in the UK, customers will benefit from technical support during their super car build project.
Taking its inspiration from the awesome mid-engined racers that competed in the American Can-Am series during the Sixties and Seventies, the Ultima Can-Am represents a modern interpretation of these amazing machines. However, substantially increased levels of interior comfort and finish make our car ideal for not only the race track, but also the road.
At the heart of every new Can-Am is the company's race-proven space frame chassis which, allied to purpose-built independent suspension and bespoke parts throughout, offers a level of handling and road-holding way beyond any conventional road car.
Power is provided by a mid-mounted Chevrolet V8 engine mated to a five or six-speed Porsche transaxle. In standard tune it's enough to propel the Can-Am from 0 - 60mph in 4 seconds before posting a top speed which is best described as more than adequate!
