Nope, this is not the Ultima GTR! This is the Ultima GTW - a model based on the GTR, but with some impressive engine modifications! A standard GTR is powered by a 6.3-liter Chevy V8 producing 534hp and 528 lb-ft of torque, while the GTW has received a new 7.2 liter Dart Aluminum SBC engine from Peter Knight Racing that delivers a total of 648 HP and 616 lbs-ft of torque!

The project was started Wayne Lansdowne, who wanted to enhance the qualities of the existing Ultima GTR. When the project stalled out, George Williams took over and finished the build in an exquisite fashion.

The car’s body was modified by Steve Smith Custom and features a single piece carbon rear wing, modified headlights with new LED lights, and different carbon fiber elements, including new front and side splitters. The GTW now sits on a new set of Magnesium center lock Dymag one piece wheels finished in black, just like the entire body.[...]

The British Aftermarket ECU remap providers now offer an upgrade for the 110PS Nissan Qashqai 1.5 DCi engine which supposedly doesn’t decrease the economy or the drivability. The n Superchips’ ‘Plug-in and Go’ DIY programing boosts the powe... [...]

The latest generation Cayenne is the first one from the German manufacturer with proper styling and proportions to its design. It sheds its predecessor’s awkward and bloated looks and now it’s one of the best looking SUVs in its class. With the aid of some ‘bolt-on’ tuner bits it can now be made to look even better and meaner. The ‘bolt-on’ bits come courtesy of a tuning kit by G... [...]

The 6.2-liter Mercedes V8 is widely acknowledged as being one of the best V8 engines ever built. Its use in so many of Mercedes’ cars over the years has, indeed, confirmed it. Even in its weakest state of tune, in the C63 with 457 hp, it’s still an awesome powerplant. German tuner HMS-Tuning have decided that 457 hp is definitely not enough and the car deserves more, so they’re offering a supercharger kit and... [...]

The car features a custom widebody kit and has been given a wide set of black HRE whee... [...]

With 1200 HP under the hood, the Venom GT was taken to an impressive 260 mph in a straight line.

The supercar features lightweight carbon fiber bodywork and carbon fiber wheels, a programmable traction control system, CFD (computational fluid dynamic) tested bodywork, an active aero system with adjustable rear wing, and an adjustable suspension system, all in a 2,685 lb package.[...]
