The Stig wasn't driving and this wasn't part of the Top Gear series, it just says Ultima's Stig (In other words,a quick driver that Ultima chose) and then they used the same track as TG to set the time.

As impressive as that is all these obscure cars being lapped are beginning to annoy me. Last season's Brabus SL, the GT500, the P1 rally car thing, and now the W12 GTi!? C'mon!

Needless to say that is a very impressive time, but I was expecting to click on the link and see the Veyron lapping the track.

Am I alone here?

After reading what an Ultima GTR640 is capable of in EVO #80, I'm not really surpised by this. Nice find though 8)

I'm sure the Caparo will ruin that Ultima's time. Maybe we'll find out once they get around to testing it in ... two years, at the rate they're going.

And I'm sure the Ultima driver knew the car way more than The Stig if he were to set a laptime.

Honestly, its like a uber-horsepower kart with headlights and license plates. It is unbelievably quick but thats about it.

This might hit the news section on a TG episode. I hope so.

Yea well id say the new Ultimate Aero that set the new top speed record looks a whole lot better IMO. But to each his own

4.5 seconds, in this track, is an eternity!!!

Very Impressive!! :shock: :o

Damn 4 seconds is a whole lot of time on a track, thought not surprising its so much faster than the CCX. I'm actually rather surprised that the CCX is the fast car on that list considering Koenigseggs aren't particularly well know for their handling prowess.

While impressive in itself its not really as impressive as, say, thje Pagani Zonda's time. The Zonda is a car you could live with as a daily driver. The Ultima is a barely road legal race car. Thats the big difference.
