Ultimate GTR Nurburgring Lap Record

This is where I will add at least 25 words worth of text to describe my car to show up in the search results at Google.

On the road the ultra sleek Ultima GTR from Ultima Sports Ltd. in Leicestershire, England turns head everywhere it goes. 

Even is a ferry line up the Ultima GTR of Ultima Sports Ltd in Leicestershire, England grabs all of the attention. Recent record-breaking activities have involved a model with a 640 bhp engine called the Ultima GTR640 as well as a 720 bhp engine known as the GTR720.

NOTE: All performance figures independently have been verified by official Guinness book of world records timekeepers Datron Technology who use incorruptible GPS timing gear to record the official road car world record times on road tyres in controlled/monitored conditions.

The Ultima GTR720 is a fully road going car and is often used as a daily driver. The car is equipped with e-marked road tyres and fitted with our standard production 720bhp Chevrolet V8 engine option built by our OE engine suppliers American Speed. A standard G50-03 transmission was used with a taller 5th gear ratio (the taller 5th gear ratio is now a new option on our pricelist at £540) to suit the prolonged 200mph plus requirement for a successful lap record of the Nurburgring in an Ultima.
We would very much like to take this opportunity to thank our record attempt sponsors AP Brakes, Goodridge, Intrax Suspension, Kumho Tyres and Titan for their valuable support.

Richard Marlow, Director of Ultima Sports Ltd commented:

"It was gutting to have had the GPS timing gear all fitted to our Ultima GTR720 with the track booked exclusively for two half hour sessions on Thursday 3rd July via Sport Auto Magazine, only for the track to be saturated by a torrential downpour, forcing us to abandon the actual lap record run.

Ring specialist and pro driver Tom Coronel was employed to pilot the car to the new record and was staggered with the pace that the Ultima GTR had to offer during his public testing of the car in dry weather conditions.

He commented:

The road tyred 231mph Ultima which was driven to the circuit, was on target during public testing to create history by recording a sub 7 minutes lap of the Ring thereby setting a new outright road car lap record, but unfortunately severe rain on the day that the track had been exclusively booked by Sport Auto Magazine for the record run meant that a fully verified attempt wasn’t possible.
