New Ultima Evolution’s £95k, 1020bhp Supercar

April 9, 2015 Staff Highlights, Marques, New Cars Comments Off on New Ultima Evolution’s £95k, 1020bhp Supercar

Ultima Sports has revealed its latest sports car, the Evolution. Available in both coupé and convertible forms, the newest Ultima offers up to 1020bhp in its most powerful form. British based Ultima has been selling its GT-R and Can Am models in both kit and pre-built forms for over 15 years. The £95,995 Evolution has more horse power than the Bugatti Veyron at less than a tenth of the price. It also weighs in at half as much. Oh my.

This means the Evolution will go from 0 to 100-0mph in 8.8 seconds. That is about a second quicker than the Bugatti. And remember, at a tenth of the cost.

Power for the Evolution comes from a Chevrolet V8 LS engine, with outputs ranging from 350bhp up to 1020bhp. In total, 15 different power outputs are offered.
