Ultima GTR720 Unofficially Beats TG Lap Time Record

Posted October 24th, 2007 at 08:33 GMT by Viper007Bond in Top Gear
A few people have sent me this over the past day, so I guess I should front page it.
Ultima Sports Ltd, who claims Top Gear has refused “repeated approaches” from them to test their car, took their GTR720 street legal car out onto the Top Gear test track on their own and set a lap time of 1:12.8, beating the Koenigsegg CXX (with spoiler) time of 1:17.6.
Of course it’s “unofficial” as the Stig didn’t drive it, but it’s still the same track and all that, so it’s impressive nonetheless.

Details including more pictures and some videos can be found at Ultima’s site.
