Breaks top gear track record.
Apparently Top Gear keep refusing to feature it on the show, but Ultima commissioned the track themselves and smashed the top time by more than 4 secs.

You know that race with the veyron and the eurofighter?
Ultima GTR would have been a much better challenger

Does anybody know why the Veyron has not been tested round the Top Gear track yet?
Cheers.

But they've never let them throw it around bends like a loon.
More chance to wrap it round the track than in astraight line.

I think its more to do with the car handling or potential lack of handling

Im test driving the GTR720 next week, going to put a deposit on a kit while Im there as well as Ive decided to build it myself (plus my old fella has retired now so he can do loads in the day!) Am going to buy pretty much everyting I need apart from engine and box and when it comes to the time they are needed Ill sell the TVR. Going for a 6.3 litre Chevy V8 with 550bhp and a G50 box.
Only decesion to make now is colour but Ive pretty much made my mind up on a white one with dark wheel centres!

thats because it really isnt half the car a veyron is, yes its faster, but the veyron is still more awesome in my eyes
