No way dude. I hate Atoms.

You might think it's ugly, but it's works... 1:12 on the top gear track on street tires, and 1:09 on race tires. FXX costs HOW MUCH MORE?!

Yeah, and watch the video. Ultima's handling is sorted, planted. It's... well... Ultimate!

Sexellent

That Ultima GTR looks rather straight forward to build, maybe deceivingly so? I've always been tempted by the poor man's supercar.

Didn't some Russian oil tycoon take over TVR and clean up house? I guess it's still a TVR at the end of the day.
