A Killer Mid-Engine Machine Prepped for GM V8s<\/h2>\n

Ultima<\/a> makes some amazing cars, and it’s RS might just be the company’s most impressive. The top-of-the-line Ultima RS<\/a> features a GM-sourced LT5 V8 with 1,200 hp.<\/strong> In a car that only weighs a little over 2,000 pounds, you can imagine how fast that makes the car. To showcase the model, the company will bring the RS to the Goodwood Festival of Speed. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Ultima made the RS so it would take a wide variety of GM engines.<\/strong> The most basic model comes with an LT1 V8 that makes 480 hp.<\/strong> That engine in the car makes it possible to shoot from 0 to 60 mph in 3 seconds. It’ll do 100 mph in just 6.2 seconds, and it’ll hit a top speed of 180 mph. <\/p>\n

The next engine available for the car is the LT4 borrowed from the Z06 Corvette.<\/strong> This engine makes 650 hp and can move the car from 0 to 60 mph in 2.5 seconds. One hundred mph comes in 5.2 seconds and top speed sits at 210 mph. Ultima also offers the RS with two versions of the LT5 V8.<\/strong> The first is an 800 hp version<\/strong> that can shoot the car from 0 to 60 mph in 2.3 seconds and 100 mph in 4.8 seconds. With this engine, the car has a top speed of 250 mph.<\/p>\n

Lastly, Ultima offers the RS with a tuned LT5 V8.<\/strong> That engine puts out 1,200 hp.<\/strong> Performance numbers have not yet been determined, but as you can imagine, it puts the car on the same level as some of the most impressive hypercars available today. <\/p>\n

The cars are officially sold as kit cars. They can be bought and assembled by the buyer or purchased and then assembled by the factory. There are right and left-hand drive versions available. <\/p>\n
