Noble Motorsport Ultima Mk1 race car

In the pantheon of British automotive engineering, there exists a marque that, while not as widely recognized as some, has carved out a legacy of performance that rivals the most storied names in supercar lore. This is the tale of the Ultima Sports Car, a machine that embodies the spirit of raw power and unadulterated speed, born from the mind of Lee Noble, the founder of Noble Motorsport.

The Ultima’s journey began in the early 1980s, with the Ultima Mk1 race car. It was a vehicle inspired by the formidable ‘Group C’ race cars, known for their dominance in endurance racing. Lee Noble’s vision was to create a car that wasn’t just fast on the track but also one that could take on the titans of the road.

Fast forward to 1999, and the automotive world witnessed the birth of the Ultima GTR, a car that would etch its name into the annals of motoring history. The GTR wasn’t just another supercar; it was a statement, a testament to what could be achieved when the shackles of convention were cast aside. It was hailed as the ‘quickest accelerating and decelerating supercar of all time,’ a title that wasn’t just for show.

The Ultima GTR shattered records, leaving its mark as an indomitable force in the realm of speed. It outpaced the titans of the time, the Bugatti Veyron, Ferrari Enzo, and even the legendary McLaren F1. These were not just cars; they were icons, embodiments of speed and luxury. Yet, the GTR proved that it was not the name or the price tag that defined performance, but the relentless pursuit of speed.

The GTR’s prowess was not confined to straight-line acceleration. It was a beast on the track, where agility and precision matter as much as raw power. When put to the test on the Top Gear test track, the Ultima GTR didn’t just beat the competition; it obliterated it, clocking in at a staggering 6.2 seconds per lap faster than its nearest rival.

Owning an Ultima is not just about having a supercar. It’s about being part of a legacy, a tradition of British engineering excellence that continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible. It’s about the thrill of driving a car that has proven itself against the best in the world and come out on top.

As this particular Ultima Mk1 sports car comes up for auction, it’s not just a vehicle that’s on offer; it’s a piece of history, a testament to the indomitable spirit of innovation and the relentless pursuit of performance. For the true connoisseur of speed, the Ultima Mk1 is more than a car; it’s a crowning jewel in any collection, a beacon of what happens when passion meets precision, when speed meets soul.

This is your chance to own a slice of motoring royalty, to take the wheel of a car that has etched its name in the record books, and to experience the pure, unfiltered essence of speed. The Ultima Mk1 is not just a car; it’s a legend, and it could be yours.
