Twin Engined Hyabusa
Ultima sports with half a tank of fuel fully trimmed for road use with all other fluids ready to drive Powered by two turbo charged Hyabusa engines giving 1000 bhp Weight 980 kilos Front axle 480 kilos Rear axle 500 kilos Power to weight ratio 1020 bhp /tonne Four wheel drive Performance figures yet to be confirmed but expect record breaking results in every respect. Perhaps a few comparisons will help Ultima themselves have just equalled the world record of 0 to 60 in 2.8 seconds which was set by Chris Allanson on 5th November 2002 at Bruntingthorpe in the Tiger Z 100 WR. However they went on to set the 0 to 100 to 0 world record which is the industry bench mark for performance cars at 10.3 seconds taking nearly a second off the previous best set by McLarens F1 road car. They can be justifiably proud of that fact especially when the Ultima costs much less than the McLaren. The Ultima weighs 990 kilos with power at 640 bhp giving a power to weight ratio of 646 bhp per tonne. Our twin engined car weighs 980 kilos fully built with all fuel water etc on board, the engines give 1000 bhp which equates to a power to weight ratio of 1020 bhp per tonne. This has to be the most powerful road going car in the world plus it has the traction to put this sort of power down to the ground. |

That thing is insane. That much power to weight and with ultimas previous record of fast cars, will almost undoubtedly make this the worlds fastest production car. I wonder how much that thing would cost in Australia and whether or not they even consider selling it over here.

I'm dissapointed - from the description i though i was going to see a Suzuki Hayabusa with 2 engines. Now that would have been fast...

The Hyabusa is a motorbike (suzuki). Actually the name is taken from the Japanese word for a Peregrine Falcon (fastest animal..?). Obviously this car uses two of the suzuki engines.
So Merlin, did you ever happened to the Suzuki B-King?

This was a hot wheels car and then made into a real life full size car. It two also has two engines, both blown V8's.
I got a crappy picture of it. In life (on the TV) it looks a lot better.
