Ultima Can-Am

Ultima, one of the UK's top self-assembly supercar manufacturers, now makes the Ultima Can-Am, in component form, available to enthusiasts in the United States. Supplied straight from the factory in the UK, customers will benefit from technical support during their supercar build project.

The Ultima Can-Am takes its inspiration from the mid-engined racers that competed in the American Can-Am series during the Sixties and Seventies. The Ultima Can-Am represents a modern interpretation of these amazing machines, but with substantially increased levels of interior comfort and finish, making the Can-Am suitable for road as well as track use.

Central to every Can-Am is Ultima's race-proven spaceframe chassis which, mated to purpose-built independent suspension and custom designed parts throughout, offers a level of handling and road-holding far beyond any conventional road car.

Power is provided by a mid-mounted Chevrolet V8 engine mated to a five or six-speed Porsche transaxle. In standard form it's enough to propel the Can-Am from 0 - 60mph in 4 seconds, going on to a top speed in the region of 180 mph.

Porsche 913

Forgetting the Panamera, Cayenne and Macan, Porsche offer a pretty well-rounded sports car range. Starting with the Boxster and Cayman, and moving up the multitude of variations of the Porsche 911, all the way up to the 918 Spyder supercar. But there is a HUGE price gap between the top of the range 911 Turbo ($250,000 will all the options ticked), to the 918 Spyder ($800,000). Somewhere in that range Porsche could surely offer something to compete with the likes of Ferrari and Lamborghini. Something like the 913 possibly? Conceived by the fertile mind of Rene Garcia, a professional 3D modeller who has created conceptual vehicles and highly detailed models for some of the biggest movies of the past decade, including the Matrix Trilogy, Transformers, the latest Star Trekthrillers and The Avengers, the Porsche 913 is an exquisitely rendered design in every detail. It has a bit of the 918 Spyder about it, but there’s also a lot of originality to the design. It looks like a Porsche, but a

Lamborghini Canto – What the Murcielago could have been?

Back in the late 1990s, when Lamborghini were starting to realise they needed a replacement for the ageing Diablo, they started reviewing design proposals from various automotive design firms. Zagato’s offering was the Zagato L147 SuperDiablo, or as it was to be later known, the Lamborghini Canto. The Lamborghini Canto first appeared in 1998, it arrived only two years after another Zagato designed Lamborghini concept had been unveiled, the Diablo-based Raptor. The cars shared a number of similar features, including the wraparound windows, triangular lateral air intakes, and trademark double-bubble roof. However of the two, the earlier Raptor was probably the better looking. Clearly Ferdinand Piech – head of the Volkswagen Group – thought so too. After VW bought Lamborghini in 1999, one of his first decisions was to review the Canto’s development and redesign the concept. The car was re-engineered and the rear extensively restyled to include smaller air intakes. The engine was also up
