Perhaps Fastest Road-Legal Car – Ultima Unveils 1200bhp V8-Powered RS
Ultima has unveiled their new supercar, the Ultima RS and the car will come with up to 1,200 horsepower depending on which engine options you choose. The Ultima RS is powered by a Chevrolet V8 LT Euro 6 and you can choose from a 480 horsepower LT1, a 650 horsepower LT 4, an 800 horsepower LT5 or a 1,200 horsepower LT5.
Based on the firm’s limited-run Evolution, the RS gains a number of modifications and enhancements to the powertrain, bodywork and chassis to maximise performance. The gel-coated bodywork of the RS has been designed with a strong emphasis on functionality. A 1780mm rear wing works alongside carbonfibre front and rear splitters and wheel-arch vents to enhance downforce, aerodynamic performance and engine cooling, while the new model’s cabin has been subtly reshaped to reduce frontal area.
There are three powertrain options, each taken from Chevrolet’s range of Euro 6-compliant V8 engines. Entry-level models are powered by the 480bhp LT1, capable of 0-60mph in 3.3sec and more than 180mph. The more powerful LT4 unit packs 650bhp and will take the RS to around 210mph. The flagship 800bhp supercharged LT5 unit produces 800bhp in standard form, but can be tuned to offer up to 1200bhp, which the company says gives the 930kg RS “the potential to outrun every other road-going hypercar on the planet”. In this form, Ultima says the RS will sprint from 0-60mph in 2.3sec and can exceed 250mph....
