God Dayyuum!  That sucker must haul ass...I wonder how much it weighs 
Its definitely cool to see an Ultima with an engine besides the standard Chevy V8, while those are nice, a little variety never hurts, espeically when its a badass engine like the 1UZFE!

^^ Interesting - then why all the complaints about taxes and restrictions on cars in Sweden all over the internet if an Ultima GTR that has not been homologated can be street legal.
Strange.

I ran it through the tax-calculator for norway, and if you want the plates on it, you have to pay a nonrecurring tax (1st time reg) of $200.000
The nonrecurring tax you pay in Norway the first time you register a car is the worst of all,often over 200% of the actual price in Europe.

Just because they are cheap doesn't mean they aren't great engines...
