The Superlite Coupe is what the Ultima GTR IMO should have evolved to.

I do not work for RCR. I have enthusiasm for all fast kit car flavors including the Ultima.

Lucky...same body.

Just ask GTW how black makes a car look different...I am sure he will be happy to tell ya....;)..just gelcoat too.

As Karlo said he is just an avid enthusiast....just like many on here that dont own anything but love to see others that do..

Fran-This is a beautiful car. I have to agree with the comments above regarding updating the Ultima. I've finished my GTR and love it, but I wonder which I would have chosen had you had this ready to go (or had I known about it) 2.5 yrs ago.

You should sell a lot of these. I think RCR is quickly positioning themselves as the very best quality available in self-build cars and Fran is a super stand up guy to deal with!

amazing the difference the colour makes - that looks stunning. What's the build price on them like Fran? (yeah I know I'm lazy)

with the current exchange that really starts to look rather cheap as well! Are there "options" on the drivetrain or is it a bit like Ultima - fit what we spec or you're on your own?

Now that is nice. Got to admit the Ultima is looking a tad on the dated side now. Surely its time for a facelift. How long has it been around?

That thing looks far more intricate and interesting!

Until you see the rear - then it looks unfinished and very kit car (sorry Fran!)

Depends what generation you refer to? The current 'shape' (GTR and Can-Am) was launched in 1999 - so it's been around for 9 years.

If it ain't broke....wink
