this sounds like quite a car, if it ever is sold.

It's a kit car

Ultima 0-100-0 world record holder for a road legal car I believe?

Pleased for them, but surely 3 million dollars is a lot to ask for what's basically an ultima with a beefed up frame and more powerful engine option?
Plus isn't "red victor" the world's fastest accellerating street legal car?

$3m for an Ultima. Awesome cars but at $3m.

I think anybody who buys that car will be insane, firstly for its price tag as crofty mentions and it has a 3-speed transmission? I know it would be hard for a transmission to use that kind of power but still, if this car is all about numbers then why not make that six, seven or more ratios? Two bugattis over this 100 times out of 100.

Madness. Stupid money for an Ultima. And dread to think what the turbos do for the power delivery through the corners. 2.1s to sec is pretty impressive though. Even more so if it's got that fat bloater behind the wheel.
