You are here   >  Sold  >  Sold Vehicles

The sold price was really not $1,000,000. The amount it sold for is not available. But someone is a very lucky owner of an Ultima right now.

Not a Lamborghini, Viper, Ferrari or Porsche but very likely faster than any of them and certainly more unique. 0-60mph in about 3.3 seconds. This is an incredible mid-engine Supercar. Built as a Road/Race Car, handcrafted in England, the Ultima chassis was used by McLaren as a base for their own F1 chassis. It is available now for $.10 on the dollar of a new McLaren F1.

According to Car and Driver, "For kicks, we took a few laps on a racetrack and couldn't believe how confident the Ultima made us feel. It is simply a well-engineered and well-built car. In every corner, straight, and braking zone, our test car was rock solid, with absolutely no twitchiness despite our prodigious speeds. We could gush on forever, but the bottom line is we'd sacrifice plenty for a day of track time in the Ultima.
At $152,150 there are numerous cars that'll give you a thrill, but we have to put the Ultima in with the top five cars that push all the right auto-enthusiast buttons. As of this writing, it's been two months since we drove it, and we're still smiling."
This particular car is a 1999 Ultima Sport and was built by an authorized Ultima representative at a cost of $160,000. This is a custom, one of a kind car. There is a huge difference in the fit, finish and quality of a factory built car as compared to a novice built kit.

capabilities is amazing. For someone who wants to excel and
