Britain's Autocar magazine recently gathered a formidable roster of supercars (and one of the greatest sportbikes ever produced) for its annual 0-100-0 showdown.
The winner of the gathering was the Bugatti Veyron, which continues to walk the walk like no supercar before it. Consider the breakdown of the Veyron's performance:
0-60: 2.8 seconds (!)
0-100: 5.5 seconds (double-!)
By the time the car came to a stop, 9.9 seconds had elapsed.
The Suzuki GSXR-1000 came in second. :shock:

Hmmm sounds like they need to look a little closer to their own home and look at the Ultima GTR (made in Britain)... they are claiming a 0-100-0 time of 9.4 seconds...

It's worth watching the videos....
I can't even bring myself to view the video... The numbers alone make me want to throw up.Quote:

Then why wasn't the Ultima included in the test? I doubt it's because they weren't invited.Quote:

too bad the veyron looks so goofy. :punchout: im sorry- it is an amazing piece of engineering- but that car is fugly.
I have been a fan of the Ultima when I fist saw it about 4 years ago. Maybe they were looking at production cars. The Ultima is a kit car. Granted some of the cars on the list are pretty hevily modified but they did roll off a production line on wheels and not in boxes. If they didn't include the Ultima, it can be reasined that they wouldn't want to include Michel S piloting a Ferrari F1 car either. I am suprized they included a WRC car, but they could have picked someting better like even a 206.
I thought the Ultima was sold as a complete car in GB (and Europe?), but maybe not. I was under the impression that it is only a kit car in the US in order to avoid DOT and EPA certification.Quote:

I actually like the looks of the Veyron!::Clown:: It's certianly different.
I sort of agree! At least it's not a Ferrari or Lamborghini clone. To me, it's an unbeautiful car with some beautiful detailing...Quote:
