rofl

To be fair, whilst I admire Ultimas, it really isn't a good looking car!

Their top speed is quoted as 231mph. Probably more like 200 by the time downforce takes its effect on that spoiler - still plently fast enough in what is effectively a shoe..

Their most impressive figures are based on acceleration. 0-100 in 5.3, quarter mile terminal 143mph... 0-100-0 in about 8 seconds. wobble

Well then chaps, I'm the guy from take me out!
No she didn't put out as we didn't get on the show twists everything and I wasn't on it for a date.

As far as the car goes ultimas hold 5 Guinness world records

And various cars have different speeds. Look at formula 1 cars ugly shape but perfect aerodynamics
Same as ultima is perfect in a wind tunnel.

I love ultimas
What car can do 0.60 in 2.5 seconds dependant on driver experience
0-220 in 19 seconds
There's plenty of videos on YouTube
Just take the wing off.
But it's awesome round a track dressed in my Stig outfit and cheap insurance

A reason to stop lurking before the summer, maybe?

Mel the exec producer of the show wanted a polo player on the show they tried every club in England and as a polo player your suppose to be a gent and not do stuff like it. I split up with ex and thought why not. What's not to loose!
So went on for a laugh!

Met some awesome people and paddy is like your best mate he is funny as!
But all in all my clothes I was wearing was scripted by producers. They wouldn't let me wear my blue chinos and white shirt with a blazer. So when you watch I was nervous to hell as I felt uncomfortable and uneasy.

My stupid dance was scripted and some lines.

But to top it off if you object they have a stand in guy!

But you live and learn and I had a good and bad experience.

mines geared to 240mph... not sure if it will get there , and if it did it might take 3 miles... ive done 187mph in a mile from a standing start so its pretty fast..

Fair play to you for going on the show anyway.

I don't like the look of the car but do admire it for what it is.

Sad really that I don't recall your bird at all, but do the car hehe

The engine in this one was tested to 9000 rpm if you get that the mathematics at top speed size of wheels gearbox etc is 304mph if it did it I would st myself. Fastest I have been is 210mph and that was like warp speed then got bored as its nothing like going round a track!
Some people slate the ultima's and I don't know why. Ok there not very practical. But is a formula 1 or a Le mans race car?
And which cars at there level have £600 insurance?

Not to mention this one is aluminum everything and weighs 900kgs
Porsche, Ferrari Astons are all 1200 kgs as British gt series min weight is 1200kgs I think

But it's some aire time for ultima and I'm proud to get the Stig out on an itv prime time show

On top of that. I'm full of smiles just to get out in it!

Us car enthusiasts all respect others pride and joy and there is some stunning examples out there but the ultima has definitely got the curves in the right places 😝😝😝😝
Can't belive I said it on tv
