Somehow I doubt it. I wonder whether it will comply with the Road requirements let alone track. Beautiful car but I bet it is noisy to the point of being unpopular with others. Good luck to the buyer lot of car for the money.

only in Italy could an ultima be even more extreme, if there's not already, there should be a clip of the sound on youtube for everyone to enjoy.

Way back when i had my ultima I went to a track (brunters) with a certain person who had their exhaust in this configuration to see what it would be like, the day was a noise unrestricted day... But it set the meters off the scale on the drive bys.... To give an example standing at the bottom of the straight he had gone over the hill which is 1mile and it still sounded like it was 10feets away.

You'd only want to hear it on full chat once, then you'd never hear again loo

Arguably damaging to hearing certainly beyond any acceptable road use and I would think beyond virtually all track events. I like a distinctive exhaust sound myself which is one reason why many of my kit cars have been V8's. But at 120 decibels that is so noisy I do wonder where you could use it. Ear defenders needed without a doubt.
