No rest for the weary, the hunt for the King of the 'Ring crown is always on.
If you consider an Ultima GTR to be a street production car (you're really have to be British to even entertain that line of thought with a straight face) then there is a strong new contender for a sub-seven minute lap of the Nordschleife...

The current "street car" record belongs to the Radical SR8 with 6 minutes 55 seconds. Arguably the Ultima GTR is much more of a street car than the Radical, it runs on Kumho street tires and I think you can even spec a radio... Ultima Sports recon the car is good enough to beat Radical's time.
The GTR is powered by a 720 bhp Chevrolet built by American Speed in Illinois and has a top speed (gearing limited) of 231 mph.
Ultima was all set to give it a try earlier in the month but had to forfeit due to bad weather. When they finally go for it, I'm sure Dale at BTG will let us know first.
I thought the SR8 did a 6:45 ?
ReplyDeleteNo, I think it's 6:55. I Imagine that was with r. compound tires.
