2004 Ultima GTR

American Speed V8 · Porsche G50 · Documented UK History

An authentically specified 2004 Ultima GTR representing the model in its most desirable analogue form — lightweight, mechanically honest and entirely driver-focused.

This example was first registered in the UK under the number V8 NCB, providing traceable early-life history within the Ultima community.

Powertrain

The car is fitted with a period-correct and highly regarded drivetrain configuration:

• American Speed-prepared Chevrolet Small Block V8
• Carburettor induction
• HEI ignition system
• Stainless long-tube exhaust headers
• Porsche G50 5-speed transaxle

This combination reflects the traditional Ultima formula — simple, robust and performance-oriented.

American Speed engines were among the preferred suppliers for Ultima builds in the early 2000s and are known for forged internal components and strong torque delivery, ideally suited to the mid-engine G50 layout.

Chassis & Construction

• Factory Ultima spaceframe chassis
• Mid-engine / rear-wheel drive layout
• Double wishbone suspension
• Coilover dampers
• Twin silencer exhaust system

Chassis number: ULTIMA 22526

This is a genuine factory-supplied Ultima chassis — not a replica or scratch-built interpretation.

History

Originally registered and used in the United Kingdom, this car carries known early history within the Ultima enthusiast community.

Like many actively used performance-focused Ultimas, the car was previously subject to damage during its life. It was subsequently rebuilt using original factory-supplied components from Ultima.

Such lifecycle stories are not uncommon among properly driven examples and form part of the authentic ownership narrative rather than detracting from it.

Driving Character

This is a true analogue performance car:

No traction control
No electronic safety nets
No driver modes

Only low mass, mechanical grip and naturally aspirated V8 torque.

The Ultima GTR remains one of the purest mid-engine driver’s cars of its era — capable of delivering modern hypercar pace through fundamentally simple engineering.

Summary

A correctly configured and transparently presented Ultima GTR featuring:

• Period American Speed V8
• Porsche G50 transaxle
• Factory chassis
• Traceable UK registration history

Offered as an honest and engaging example for enthusiasts seeking a mechanically authentic Ultima rather than a cosmetic showpiece.
