    Ultima

    I saw an article about this car in the EVO magazine a few months back and I thought it sounded quick then. Now they have this piece of news on Pistonheads.

    They are made in Hinckley and I used to go to school (long time ago) with the bosses son.

    During the summer months you can see loads of them being road tested and driven around the outskirts of town. Quite a sight in the flesh and they make some great noises.

                I have a friend who works in F1 and one of his colleagues has been building an Ultima for a while. He's got an RS4 engine in there, but with two rather trick looking needle bearing turbos producing some silly power, and he's managed to get the suspension components off the Audi R8 Le Mans car, plus some huge AP brakes. It's an awesome machine, light, mid-engined, stupendous power and torque...

                      was trying to divise a way of lifting the car from its Cnt of Gravity, and turning it through 180' with a unit weighing no more than 25kg for as little money as possible

                      not easy.

                        Triangulated frame with block and tackle? Where are you picking the car up from or does that have to be a frame aswell?

                        Why less than 25kg?

                          its a promo car so it had to be underneath, basicly car lifts up and spins round and looks fancy, theres fook all room between the engine and bulk head, and it would be a fixed inside the car all the time (25kg was like a guide line really to the maximum it could weigh)
