Ultima GTR720 review and test drive

The newest vehicle from England that is ripping up the track and defying exotic car logic goes by the name of Ultima GTR720. How much faster is it than the top priced and most respected exotics? A total of six point two seconds faster than the Ferrari Enzo, and almost a whole second faster than the esteemed Ferrari FXX when tested on the Top Gear test track. Mind boggling acceleration of zero to sixty miles per hour in only two point six seconds is what sets this budget exotic apart from the crowd. For a fraction of the price of the high dollar exotics, enthusiasts around the world can crawl into a Ultima GTR720 for around $100,000 USD.

 The Ultima GTR720 made it's appearance and shook the world of the exotics with it's claim to be "the fastest accelerating and decelerating super car in the world". They are completely right, and no exotic can even come close to touching it bang for buck. Zero to one hundred and back to zero miles per hour in only nine point four seconds, this is car literally is a street legal race car. Check out these statistics about the Ultima GTR720.

By watching the footage, we can get a good estimation of how this bang for buck exotic handles. It reminds me of a very, very fast gokart! With a much better ride, this vehicle can take corners like no other. Creating astounding lateral g forces, the Ultima GTR720 is great for the performance minded enthusiast. With all of this track style grunt, it can also be calm enough to be daily driven through the streets of London. Overall, this is an awesome vehicle for it's value but don't expect the frills of a higher priced exotic that you might find in a Ferrari, Lamborghini, or a Bugatti. This is more like a Lotus on steroids! Great job Ultima, you can build an awesome vehicle that is packed full of performance goodies with an extremely attractive price tag.
