You"d be forgiven for not having heard of Ultima. But you"d have been missing out, too. See, while Koenigsegg, AMG and Aston Martin all currently hone their latest prototype racer-esque road cars, Ultima"s been offering something along those lines from the 1980s. And all from little old Leicester. This is its latest ware, the Ultima RS, a 1,200bhp supercar that"ll hit 60mph in around two seconds, and all through an actual manual gearbox. Remember those? Much like lots of cottage industry supercars, power for the Ultima range comes from a range of mid-mounted, Chevrolet-sourced V8s. Which is good news, given their seemingly endless appetite for tuning. So while lowlier models kick out 480bhp, outputs quickly rise, topping out with the 1,020bhp Evolution and this new 1,200bhp RS.
