Ultima

History & Origins

Ultima Sports Ltd was founded in 1992, initially developed as a lightweight high-performance vehicle kit for enthusiast buyers — delivering the performance that mass-produced alternatives at accessible prices could not achieve. The company's founders believed that the essence of professional motorsport technology should be accessible not only to the wealthy, but to serious driving enthusiasts.

The Ultima GTR's pace was unmatched by mainstream car manufacturers. Setting the 0–100–0 mph (0–160–0 km/h) time — full acceleration to top speed and a complete stop — at 9.4 seconds, the Ultima GTR claimed that record ahead of the Bugatti Veyron and Koenigsegg. Drawing its power from GM's LS7 or LS9 V8 engine and weighing under 1,000 kg, the GTR is the purest expression of British track-focused design.

Ultima's engineering philosophy is characterised by an extraordinary emphasis on the power-to-weight ratio. The company optimises every aspect of the design — chassis, body, suspension — to reduce weight, then installs a powerful GM LS engine. The result: a vehicle that effortlessly outpaces a Porsche 911 GT3 on the straight, yet surpasses everything when track conditions are factored in.

Technology & Engineering

Ultima's engineering philosophy is built around combining powerful but simple technology with the lightest possible chassis. GM's LS-series V8 engines — reliable, powerful, easily serviced — are a deliberate engineering choice matched to Ultima's high-performance structure.

• GM LS V8 engines — LS7 or LS9, naturally aspirated or supercharged, configurable from 500 to 900+ hp
• Full carbon fibre monocoque chassis — complete vehicle weight under 1,000 kg, power-to-weight ratio supreme
• Fully adjustable Penske race suspension — dampers, spring rates, and geometry fully configurable
• Extreme aerodynamic bodywork — active splitters, wings, and diffusers; GTR-720 generates 1,000+ kg downforce at high speed
• Race-spec Brembo disc brakes — full steel, optional carbon-ceramic in the most demanding track conditions

Ultima in Azerbaijan

Ultima vehicles are exceptionally rare in Azerbaijan — an expected outcome given the company's small-volume production. These vehicles, built in small numbers in Britain, are mainly distributed among European track enthusiasts and motorsport racing series.

High-performance vehicle enthusiasts in Azerbaijan know Ultima in the context of world speed records. Access to the region is only possible through specialist import channels; but for those seeking genuine driving significance — choosing performance over comfort — Ultima offers a unique alternative.

Why Choose Ultima?

• World records: The Ultima GTR claimed the 0–100–0 mph record ahead of the Bugatti Veyron — a legendary victory for a small British company against world giants.
• Power-to-weight perfection: Ultima's sub-1,000 kg weight combined with 700+ hp produces a ratio that equals the very best in the supercar world.
• GM LS reliability: In complete contrast to exotic European engines, Ultima's GM LS V8s are extraordinarily reliable, easily serviced, and backed by a globally accessible spare parts network.
• British motorsport heritage: Ultima carries the finest tradition of British motorsport engineering — a brand standing alongside Caterham, Ariel, and Lotus.
• Uncompromising driving: An Ultima vehicle makes no compromise — this is not a road vehicle masquerading as a track tool, but a genuinely exhilarating driving experience for those who seek it.
