The Ultima GTR, launched in 1999, is a British component car that evolved from Lee Noble's original Ultima designs. Sold as a kit, it allowed builders to create a road-legal machine with the aesthetics of a Group C race car. Its lightweight fiberglass body over a steel spaceframe chassis, typically paired with a Chevrolet V8, created a recipe for staggering performance that embarrassed many established supercars.
Collectors prize the GTR for its raw, unassisted driving experience and immense performance-per-dollar value. With a curb weight often under 2,200 pounds and power outputs ranging from 350 to over 1,000 horsepower, it offers hypercar acceleration in a simple, analog package. Because they are kit-built, no two cars are identical, which makes finding a well-sorted example a key part of the ownership journey.
Buying Tips
- Scrutinize build quality. As a component car, fit, finish, and wiring quality vary dramatically. A professional inspection is essential to identify assembly shortcuts or flaws.
- Verify the powertrain's history. Most use Chevrolet V8s, but specifications differ greatly. Obtain build sheets and receipts for the engine and transaxle.
- Inspect the spaceframe chassis for damage. Check for cracks, corrosion, or poor quality welds, especially around suspension mounting points and the roll cage.
- Confirm its legal status. Ensure the car has a proper title and is legally registered for road use, as this process can be complex for kit cars.
