Evolution competition

The F1 is a race car, the ultima is a street legal car. This year( which is 2019) ultima got a new car, mostly similar stats to ultima evolution.

It will pull the F1 car at high speeds due to more power and less downforce. But many hypercars have higher topspeeds than F1 car. Doesn't mean they are "as fast" or "faster" than F1 car...

F1 cars this year are super fast in a straight line, second only to the cars of 2005. Considering they'd hit 314kph 2 years ago they are hitting 337 now on the 1km straight at the Shanghai circuit
But cars are significantly slower off the line than they used to be when they had traction control. They used to hit 300kph in 10 seconds

Piorun - the Ultima GTR 720 has proved more than capable in the handling department, running 1:12.8 at Dunsfold on road tyres and beating the Enzo FXX race car when it was put on slicks - 1:09.9.

The good thing at that types of car that its easy to customsize.
You propably could order a version with many modifications on it.
It could be much road friendly with more soft dampers, and propably higher ride.
But I dont like that type of cars, its too close to race cars.
And I also do not buy number, 1000hp, 1000kg, that not impress me, beceause those kind of cars was very terrible in the past.
Im not so much numbers - obsessed.
I rather to chose something slower, and more car like. If I have to chose more radical car, I would chose Ariel Atom. Its cheaper and also very fast.

This is the most powerful, 1020 PS flavor. You can go all the way down to 300-something hp, which would still be a lot of fun, being a V8 in such a lightweight car.

Great car, Design, Old school(Not really) approach, But its not as uncomfortable as you would think, (Given ones perspective) There are different types of interiors and seats you are able to choose from at the factory, given you arent building it yourself.
Some can be as harsh as a DTM car, Or as supple as a CTS, Depending on options and build of course. Given what i have been able to experience from Ultima, Id say the ride is no better or worse then a Viper. The performance is great and will put practically everything to shame, But i dont expect this ones ride to be very harsh, Could be wrong. The GTR 720 in US prices were $120,000, So this ones prolly more there.

Im not even saying about performance of this car because there is no need of that...
I have just read that this cars basic price is ~100k USD...OMG...Ofcourse its extremely uncomfortable and terribly spartan but it is still such a bargain.
I would go even futher. I dont know what basic price includes but its a way too low price for a 1000 bhp car.
This car in straight line is almost as fast as F1 cars.

Im surprised at how long it takes people to add cars these days, Back in the day new cars were added within literally hours, Hell its been weeks to months and still new cars arent added, Im very surprised, Not that im complaining, Its just a curious observation.
Also, Ultima GTR 1020 Evolution
The GTR 720 was already a 9s car, And did it the nice old fashioned way, Good ole light weight, Big power, manual gearbox, Which is wonderful and how id like to do it.
Kinda hate to not add a car simply because i put better stats and pics, But hey my loss. But Ultima seems to have a company logo know, Id be nice to see them go mainstream, Plus theres talk of a GTR2 in the makes which actually could go mainstream, Alot of potential but prolly funds are there biggest problem.

I don't think you will ever see a lap from this company, bad PR will get you nowhere, besides I can't see some bad driving rich guy taking this to the track. You have to hire a good driver and take it to a track as with no lap times equal no confidence.

How cool, you added the carpage and I wrote the article at the same exact time!
