Think thay did that ages ago but it was not done by TG themselves, God know why they haven't had it on the track themselves by now' guess they dont want to raise the bar by that much as it would be a white wash

Is that a totally standard factory ultima though or has it got a more powerful engine???

Might fall foul of some "production" rule they use for top gear tests or foul speed bump etc

Ultimas hold a world record as well. Very impressive cars and an absolute bargain in terms of bang for buck!

Am pretty sure it's somthing to do with speed bumps being the reason why it's not been on.

There is yellow one around here and it gets through my parents village with no problems and the place has lots of speed humps.

Also followed a black one a few years back and it managed with the bumps piss easy.
