Ultima Evolution: The 1,000 HP British Supercar Dominating the Streets

Road BEAST - In the fast-paced world of supercars, innovation and performance are always in the spotlight. Every new model is expected to push the limits of speed, design, and technology, as manufacturers compete to deliver the next big leap. Among these giants, Ultima Sports has consistently carved out its own niche, known for producing raw, powerful machines that stand out in a crowded market. Now, they’ve taken another bold step forward with the introduction of their latest supercar: the Ultima Evolution. With both coupe and convertible options, the Evolution steps in to replace the revered GTR and Can-Am models, signaling a new era for the British automaker.

One of the defining features of the Evolution is its focus on aerodynamics. Drawing inspiration from the LMP2 cars that compete in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Evolution is designed to slice through the air with minimal resistance, making it not only fast but also incredibly stable at high speeds. This advanced aerodynamic design is further complemented by a stunning interior that promises both comfort and technological sophistication. Buyers have the choice of assembling the car themselves through a kit, or opting for a fully built version straight from the factory, catering to different preferences of supercar enthusiasts.

On the outside, the Evolution proudly displays its racing DNA, with an aggressive design that reflects its high-performance capabilities. But it’s not just about looks—the car is packed with modern technology to enhance the driving experience. The interior comes equipped with an Alpine touchscreen infotainment system, offering navigation, Bluetooth, rear parking assistance, and more. Luxurious leather and Alcantara upholstery complete the package, making the cabin as comfortable as it is high-tech, ensuring drivers can enjoy the thrill of the road in style.

Performance, however, is where the Evolution truly shines. With 15 different power outputs available from a selection of Chevrolet LS V8 engines, the Evolution offers a wide range of options to suit various driving styles. The entry-level model, featuring a 350-horsepower engine, starts at just over £38,000 for the kit version, while a factory-built model comes in at £65,995. For many, choosing the factory-built version might be the best option to ensure optimal assembly and performance right out of the gate.

For those seeking the pinnacle of performance, the top-of-the-line Evolution is where things get serious. Priced at £95,995, this version is equipped with a 6.8-litre supercharged V8 engine that produces an astonishing 1,020 horsepower—more than a Bugatti Veyron. And despite this immense power, the Evolution weighs only 950kg, half the weight of the Veyron, giving it an exceptional power-to-weight ratio that translates to mind-blowing performance on the road.

The numbers speak for themselves. The range-topping Evolution accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in a mere 2.3 seconds. It reaches 100 mph in just 4.9 seconds, and hits 150 mph in an astounding 8.9 seconds. The quarter-mile is completed in 10.3 seconds at a speed of 156 mph. These figures put the Evolution in the realm of elite hypercars, and for speed enthusiasts, this car delivers the kind of performance that few others can match.

One of the most impressive feats of the Evolution is its 0-100-0 mph time, completing the task in just 8.8 seconds—about a second faster than the Bugatti Veyron. Unlike many modern supercars that rely on advanced electronics and four-wheel drive systems, the Ultima Evolution remains true to its purist roots, offering a manual gearbox and requiring true driving skill to unlock its full potential. It’s a car designed for those who seek an unfiltered, raw driving experience without the interference of electronic aids. 
Ultima Sports has truly created something special with the Evolution. Combining modern luxury with extreme performance, it’s a car that appeals to both traditional supercar fans and those looking for the next level of speed and engineering. Whether you’re assembling it yourself or enjoying the thrill of a factory-built version, the Ultima Evolution offers an unmatched blend of power, precision, and excitement. As Ultima pushes the boundaries of what’s possible in supercar design, the Evolution stands as a testament to the brand’s commitment to creating thrilling, high-performance vehicles that leave a lasting impact on the automotive world. *** [EKA [20042015] | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | ULTIMA SPORTS | LEFTLANENEWS | TOPGEAR | CLASSIC | WIKIPEDIA ]
