Nigel Drives the Ultima RS for the FIRST TIME

Nigel pilots the Ultima RS for the very first time. The reaction is jaw-dropping. Tune in and experience the road manners and insane acceleration of the Ultima.
If you are a fan of Shelby Cobra, GT40 kit cars, DIY kits, and have not heard of Ultima, you have stumbled across the best kept secret in the industry? Cataclysmic acceleration, 200mph+ top end, Le Mans Group-C styling, and a V8 soundtrack to die for.

What an awesome journey! I hope cars like this and companies like Ultima survive the changes that the auto industry is going through. Thank you for sharing this little piece of your life with us!

[@v8creative]

Ultima has a bright future with a big order book. Legislation tends to leave the industry alone since it supports such a huge number of suppliers and specialists.

[@faraimahamba-sithole4143]

Wow! She is finally on the roads! Congrats Nigel! Watching and cheering you on all the way from South Africa.

[@v8creative]

Thank you. More exciting videos to come. Already planning the first drive for Rufus

[@ETrys]

I found this channel in December and binged it all. The level of attention to detail in the car and production is so nice. BTW those stands really made the Ultima look massive in the garage, the bus at 16:30 really showed how low it is lol. Beautifully done Dean and Roofus.

[@v8creative]

She is a seriously low machine. Once installed you seriously feel your bum is inches off the ground. Actually it is, 2!

[@grantlingley1385]

Your “First Passenger” is lovely and a Great Sport! LOL. I hope my wife responds the same way when my 914 is finished! Engine is now complete and running well so now all of the interior bits to manage! Congrats Again!

[@SeaYaSailing]

Congrats Dean, she is a beauty and a beast. Me and my Pops built many of "kit" cars in the past, from a Laser 917, to a Becks 550 spider, the Ultima is one I have wanted to build for more than 15 years. You lucky dog

[@v8creative]

Respect. Your comment reminds me of my pops. :-). The Ultima is indeed the pinnacle of the component car scene (IMO), and boy-oh-boy it delivers in spades. I hope this episode reminded you of your first drives/rides after building an amazing machine. Cheers Nigel

[@cfield314]

Congrats Nigel! I've watched every episode. Thank you for documenting your journey building this beast. I celebrated along with you during that first overtake. Well done!

[@v8creative]

That first overtake was wicked. She just squatted down and I was fired down the road. This is typical road use, and the LS3 is superb since you can basically gun it without concerns of the rears spinning up. A lovely power to weight ration in my mind

[@eohmit]

Mesmerizing! Congratulations Nigel 🎉. I suspect you still haven’t wiped the smile from your face yet. It’s been a great journey, thank you for taking all the time you have for producing the content and such a beautiful car. Since I saw your first mention of it in one of your TKC articles, I’ve looked forward to each new episode and been hooked on them, every two weeks on Friday evening like clockwork 😊. Cheers, Eric

This is indeed a very special RS with the exposure it has received on the channel. I'm also addicted to detail and doing things right. Something my Dad taught me :-)

[@PK51X]

Congrats Nigel, what an awesome achievement. Thoroughly enjoyed watching you build the beast. Nothing better than an LS on full noise!

A Tvr Chimaera 4650 tuned car owner. I bought a Ftype R 5.0 AWD 5 years ago. It was just 1year old. Going back some years we went to Le-mans & I saw in the flesh a Ultima GTR. Thinking back i now wish i had bought the Ultima to build ,rather than the Jaguar. I have a friend with a GTD GT40 & that is amazing to drive in . Although very twitchy. I used to race big block chev;s 454ci in my F1 Stock cars so I know the beautiful sound they make. Will be following your journey. Still doing lots of TVR mods on my channel. Good luck. Steve.

[@v8creative]

Hi Steve, clearly you have a good taste in cars. I have a soft spot for TVRs, the older generation such as the Grif and Chimaera. They make the most glorious sound. As you say when you see an Ultima in real life it stops you in your tracks. The reactions are so funny and I'm always happy to have a chat

Nigel, I'm so glad that there is more to come. My big worry was that this would be all over, so thanks for that. There is nothing like a V8 and going further, there is nothing like the big right-now-torque of the LS that you've installed in your Ultima RS. It would be nice to see a movie length episode with whatever you have in store for us. Bring a good supply of water, as a palate cleanser, after you gobble up all of the Porsches, Ferraris and other cars. Light weight plus a V8, can't wait.

No specific issues, it just takes a little time to get the car though IVA and then request registration. IVA slots are sometimes difficult to get and you can easily wait a month. Then if you fail on something simple, you have to wait another month for a retest. Sometime you can get a cancellation which brings accelerates things but red tape takes time. :-)

[@manfredjansen7422]

I have watched pretty much all of the episodes. Great car. But is this 5 point racing seat belt during touring not very dangerous? You have no airbags and when you crash your body stays fixed and your head will continue going forward. That's why you have the HANS safety system. Use normal seat belts which build up resistance when you tour, use helmet with HANS in combination with the 5 point seat belts when your on the track. My advice.

[@v8creative]

Full harnesses have been used for decades in road cars and there are no stats to suggest they are any more dangerous then inertia reel belts. That is why they are legal in the UK for road use and fully CE marked. In fact a friend of mine had a 50mph head on accident with a Volvo in a Westfield wearing a full harness. I passed the scene and the Westfield had literally folded at the centre point - not nice. He suffered broken ribs but the ambulance crew said the full harness saved him from more significant injuries since it kept him square in the car and allowed an even distribution of the immense force his body experienced. He suffered no whiplash which is amazing I must admit. Yes a Hans device adds an additional level of safety but a bit of pain when going to Tescos :-).

@@anidiotinaracingcar4874 thanks, and in fact that was my wife’s auntie :-). I must say she was the perfect passenger for the first drive

Nice part of the country for driving. As long as you avoid the 303 :-) Thruxton next ?

[@v8creative]

Yep, Wiltshire is an amazing county. Top Gear magazine do a lot of car shoots around where I live. As you say just avoid the A303

[@skischooldave99]

@@v8creative I used to live in Berkshire and have friends in Yeovil. Can’t tell you how many times I cursed the 303 ! Live in US now and we really can’t build Ultima’s here in the same way you can in UK sadly.

Oh no, you going to send it ! Don't tell me this car is going to be a give away prize !

[@v8creative]

Now that made me smile. If only I had the funds to do a free raffle but my life savings are in this machine.

Awesome!

[@dougdorrer4622]

Nigel, Nigel, Nigel...missed you. Many questions. Will you add a front axle lift, air jacks, supercharger? I bet Lady Dean is relieved about your milestone. Id also add a keyed battery disconnect to prevent it being nicked. Will Ultima Sports have a next gen RS or a new model coming out?

[@v8creative]

Sorry for the few weeks gap. Red tape! Anyway, front lift option. Nope, I have been doing a fair amount of speed bump negotiation and she manages juts fine. I'm going to cover it in an episode. Supercharger - let's see. As regards another model, I don't know but I doubt it in the short term. The RS is in such demand the factory are flat out trying to meet the 18 month+ pipeline of orders they currently have.

[@alexscarbro796]

Have you considered finding a race driver to give it the full beans on a circuit, with you as a passenger?

[@v8creative]

I have been a passenger with a race driver in a few cars and I have been terrified. So I don't think I could bare the stress. I also get travel sick :-)

[@ianwoodvine5558]

Been waaaaaaay to busy driving the RS to bother making a vid 😂😂

[@v8creative]

Hi Ian, just some red tape. Enjoy the first drive

[@ianwoodvine5558]

@v8creative cant wait to hear it on full throttle 😉😁😁

[@AC-bl1rl]

How long until you bump the revs up?

[@v8creative]

500 miles and she is run in, so in about a weeks time
