Ok, it looks like a Formula One car but does it really drive like a Formula One? The answer is YES. The Ultima Spyder is not a kit car and there is one huge difference between this car and most of its competitors. This car is for real.
On first glance, most people are quick to agree that the Ultima Spyder looks like it should be on the track with a pit crew crowding around it in red overalls. With its bubble canopy and tightly hunched shoulders, kids are quick to call it the real thing but adults always pause and then ask. “How does it handle?”
Before I give you the report card, let me preface these comments with a little bit of praise on the price tag. You can actually get one of these cars in your driveway with owners papers to match for as little as £ 20. For the price of an ordinary kit-car, you are going to be scratching your head and wondering how you did it. This is especially true after you take it out to the track.
The Ultima Spyder has often been praised by critics as the best handling car they have ever driven. Even on the first test run, you aren’t going to believe how easy this car is to drive. After one lap you will be taking it close to all its limits and feel perfectly safe in doing so. The gear change is slick and the adjustable pedals are perfectly positioned for heeling and toeing. It’s like they knew what you wanted before you even knew yourself.
Very few cars even come comes close to the Ultima Spyder when it comes to performance. The wide sills and uncluttered interior put you way down in the cockpit with a rush of air swooshing over the top of the car and leaving you in a remarkably quiet racing mode. The Chevy 350 engine can be coupled to a Porsche six speed gearbox with so much of torque that it performs like a champion. Don’t give up an opportunity to take this car for a test drive someday as you will certainly se a new side of racing that you never experienced before. The Ultima Spyder has the looks and the brains to match.
