Swedish Television tested the Ultima GTR-TT on Gotland Ring

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-jubA-fl3k

It's in swedish so you probably don't understand that much of what he says so here's a very short resumee from the test drive. I think you understand his feeling anyway smile


"This is a totally sick machine"

"The power is more than I can handle"

"Take a race V8 and then turbo charge it, yeah why not? *ironic*"

"This tuner is crazy."

"Then he talks about the gearbox and the RPM range."

"What's most impressive is the overall road grip."

"R tires and brake information."

"Race ergonomics is important. The Pedagogics is fantastic (steering wheel)."

"I want to have ear plugs..."

"Laughs and can't find words, excuse me for swearing..."


So what do you think?

Hej Mikael,

jag tala bara lite svenska, so I´ll do it in english: congratulations for this this unique car, what an excellent achievement!
I know from my own experience how much time and preparation it usually takes for a TV report, you can clearly hear the excitement of the reporter from the beginning.
How long did it take to make the recordings and where was it filmed?

Looks good,

Out of interest how tall was the driver, it’s a good indication of how much room is inside these things.

Also what seats are used
The cable shifter details looked good as well.

Only wish there was more times where you could hear the engine without the music or commentary in the background

thanks again for posting that.

It looked like the seats were non Ultima, they looked like they were made of Kevlar. I`m quite sure that the factory standard seats provide more leg space.

Hej, kul att du kan svenska. We unloaded the car around 10 in the morning and we had to leave the track at around 15 because we had a ferry back to the mainland to catch. So about 5 houers in total.

It was filmed at the new fantastic track Gotland Ring on the swedish island Gotland. If all plans fall into place this track will be 28km long in the future!!!

I don't know his exact length but he sure is tall. Over 1.90 I guess. The seats are Momo Racing Kevlar/carbon and I have mounted the pedals a bit closer to the seat so with a seat like Tillet B4 and pedals in lower position he would fit just fine even with the helmet on.
