With a price tag of around €400,000, this high performance vehicle, which goes from 0-60 in under three seconds, is relevant to a very specific audience. I am looking forward to the reaction that we will receive at Top Marques and am also hoping to be able to give visitors details of our next model. "

400k Euro for that!

Carbon fibre or not, that's a tad optimistic (by about 350k Euro) I reckon.

Doesn't look as good as an Ultima, either.

[XM5ER]

It definitely doesnt look as good as an Ultima. Think what kind of Ultima you could build with £300k.

[Stig]

Think of all the other supercars you could have for £300k!!!

2nd hand XJ220 or that?

[klassiekerrally]

Tssss.... 400k!
Yeah, it will stay exclusive that way!
Wake up mister Wyssguy! This looks like a kit-car, and as such is way too expensive.
Also it has a 2 litre 4 cilinder (twin-turbo) engine, not even a V8 or V12...
This car doesn't make any sense to me.

400K... Am I missing something here? This is a p**s take right? 512 bhp from a 2 ltr turbo? This say’s engine rebuilds every 200 miles to me. And the looks... ugh... the cockpit bubble is far too bulbous and out of proportion with the rest of the car. An Ultima is much better looking than this IMHO. And for 400K a car you’d think they could get a decent web site sorted out and translate the pigeon English correctly Compare the slick PR and customer service facilities provided by McLaren for the F1 to the first impressions you get from this lot by going to their website.

You could have gtrclive's for £45K and its much prettier.

[GTRClive]

Nice Colour... Cheap as well....

[smele]

512BHP, 750KG, 0-60 2.7s = Impressive.
E400,000 = Depressing.

I want an Ultima so much it hurts sometimes , they are so cheap and yet so far out of my reach

[d3vine]

On their website, it says the Leblanc GTR uses slicks to achieve 0-100 in 5 secs. So does it use slicks to achieve the 2.7 to 60?

Has anyone achieve similar or better times in the Ultima GTR with slicks on?
