Still pretty ugly. And no matter what you say, it's not a road car. It's a full on track-day car, that just happens to be road legal.

But what time did the...uhm...the F1 car for the road to? What was it again. :D

not bad not bad, but it isnt a real road car I would say. yes it is street legal but you can make a F1 car street legal with a few mods.

I like a higher pitched sound, Zonda style!!

It was something 59,x seconds IMO, because they promised to make it under one minute. :)
Topgear should test it themselves and then decide if it's eligible to the time board. Very impressive time no matter how you look at it. :)

No, I don't mean the Reanult F1 car, but that road car they tested this season. I just can't remember the name...

No, I think it was fully organised by Ultima.

Caparo drove 1:10:06.

Why did they say Caparo didn't qualify?  Because it couldn't go over a speed bump right?  This Ultima wouldn't qualify either is my guess.  But stuff like a Koniseg seems just as low?

^ I agree on that. It's difficult to draw the line where a car is a usable daily car or not. For instance, and in the vid it's shown as that... the Ultima gets to the TG airfiled driven by road, and not in a truck like the Caparo. I wonder if the Koenigsegg arrived the same way... :wink:
