There have been a few posts here regarding the Farboud GT. But I don't know if anyone has seen this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/lemans-race-roa

They say it fits an Ultima chassis.

Any comments?

Sorry, but if I bought an Ultima Chassis, I'd still stick an Ultima body on it in preferance to that!

At some angles it looks ok, I just don't like the really flattened back bit...

Never liked it. The wheel arches are distorted for no apparent reason?

It looks like it's build for midgets.

I wonder how tall you are allowed to be to fit in that car. Fitting an engine under that hood could be a problem as well.

I might get into trouble here but I always thought the Ultima wasn't such a great "looker". I think the front area and windscreen need a little redesigning if one wants to improve the looks. I'm sure the current design of the Ultima is great for visability and aerodynamics but it's not (at least in my oppinion) beautiful like many other Supercars are.

Kristian, I agree about the front. They should be making it like this:



I'm not hot on the headlights, but they suit a black ultima, particuarly when they don't have the covers on:



As for the roof, I don't like the bubble look of the gtr but you don't really get this on the can-am. I think the large windscreen actually suits the can-am pretty well.

As for the rest, well the ultima has the hottest arse going around.
