I’ve got a customer who wants to put one of these cars together, so I’m working on an estimate of cost, build time, power, and so on. Should be a pretty interesting winter project.
Anyway, they have a section of the site dedicated to US customers, and so I’m scrolling through…anyway, check out the pictures of the red car about 1/2 way down the page, and the two after that further down the page.

Sweet, it doesn’t look like the plates are NY, but I am blind as a bat.
Can’t wait to see if you get to build one of those.

And the likelihood of me building one is pretty high. (yes, you can come hang out 😉

Not even close. The BASICS are $27.9k, but most of the stuff you NEED is listed as “options” not to mention this is before we talk about drivetrain, etc, etc. All said and done you’ll be 60-80k in parts (not labor) into an Ultima. I’ve done ALLLL the research on this.

what we’re looking to do…figure rolling chassis right around 70k shipped. Then it’s time to install a powertrain

I met a guy that had one at a DE at The Glen.
I was impressed.
I believe he hit 200mph on the back straight, he was under 2:00 lap times!!!
Obviously it is like any good car, it really needs a good driver to impress.
It was dark blue or black.
