Última is the ÚK's leading self-assembly supercar manufacturer and, for the first time ever, its sensational Can-Am is available in component form to enthusiasts in the Únited States. Supplied straight from the factory in the ÚK, customers will benefit from technical support during their supercar build project.
Taking its inspiration from the awesome mid-engined racers that competed in the American Can-Am series during the Sixties and Seventies, the Última Can-Am represents a modern interpretation of these amazing machines. However, substantially increased levels of interior comfort and finish make our car ideal for not only the race track, but also the road.
At the heart of every new Can-Am is the company's race-proven spaceframe chassis which, allied to purpose-built independent suspension and bespoke parts throughout, offers a level of handling and road-holding way beyond any conventional road car.
Power is provided by a mid-mounted Chevrolet V8 engine mated to a five or six-speed Porsche transaxle. In standard tune it's enough to propel the Can-Am from 0 - 60mph in 4 seconds before posting a top speed which is best described as more than adequate!Source - Ultima Sports Ltd.

| 1967 Can-Am Road America: The Beginning of the 'Bruce and Denny Show' | |
 | While Formula One will be forever considered the pinnacle of motorsport, from a period between 1966 and 1986 there existed a series that would likely be the closest to 'anything goes' as any motor racing series could truly get.

And for more than a couple of years there would be one tea...[Read more...] |
| 1961 Targa Florio: Porsche Dominance, Ferrari Victorious | |
 | The first race held on the island of Sicily that included an automobile would take place between the car, a bicycle and a horse.

In the end, the same principles that played out in that first race would come into play many years later when the island hosted the 1961 Targa F...[Read more...] |
