Chevy V8!  Top Gear should do it themselves, and I know for a fact that Ultimas can go over speed bumps.

I've seen vids of the record lap, but not this one.
Look at it powerslide past that pile of tires at 0:56m into the lap!

Pretty impressive, and I think I prefer such kind of filming, with slight different angles and onboard cameras, aswell as no voice over, rather than what TG does

Bugatti won't let them run it on their track, although they let Top Gear race a Veyron against a Cessna and a Eurofighter, and let one loose for a top speed run at the Ehra Lessien. I suppose a private owner could do what they did with the Ultima, but I somehow doubt that it'll end up at the top.

You may be right, but dont forget the vyron is not light at all - something about 1,9 tonns.
And it may be not the fastest one (big ?) , but IMO its the absolute car king. I mean, yeah some light care like this one may be(?) faster, but look at all the other stuff - the interior, the noise, the comfort, and the look. Its all much better in the vyron. It may be a matter of taste, but to me the look of this gtr is rubbish.

I had a chance to see an Ultima Can-Am up close and it was well built, I thought. Sure, the Bugatti is the ultimate car. But it does cost a lot more than the Ultima. (10x)
By they way, why are you spelling the Veyron as the vyron?

Hell yeah! That was a badass display of the crushing speed of the Ultima.

The noise? Are you kidding, the Veyron sounds no where near as good as the Ultima! The look? The Ultima certainly isn't a looker, but to me its purposefulness alone makes it look better than the ugly mesh of TT & Beetle that is the Veyron...

I disagree. The Veyron is beautiful and sounds as a simfony of endless power and elegance. The noise of the gta is not bad, but not SO good.
And I realy would be ashamed to drive such a ugly car.
