I was going to ask "what the hell is an Ultima". Searched on google...ok, a 1200lb race car with a 720 hp small block chevy. I guesss this the modern take on the Pantera concept?

Cool I think, at least you got something to chat about when they fill in your details. In my country of origin (netherlands) they stopped using the targa and switched to local product.

As far as I've been able to verify it's a 'show' model for some fair or another. The distributor claims it's actually a client car (a grey one) that's been covered in a special film for demonstration purposes. At the end of the event the film will be removed and the car will go to its private owner.
So you can all stay on your side of the pond !
