Video: Ultima GTR sets 1/4 mile world record

The Ultima Factory has recorded yet another blistering statistic with the multiple world record holding Ultima GTR supercar. Driven by Ultima director, Richard Marlow, the GTR recorded a standing 1/4 mile time of 9.9secs @ 143mph terminal speed at the FIA approved and verified Santa Pod Raceway. Previously, we reported that the 720 hp Ultima GTR had set a record for the 0-100mph-0 run. The GTR720 was pitched against a standard 345bhp Corvette C5, which doubled as a camera car to help demonstrate the mind-boggling performance of the GTR720.
