We’re starting with shock and awe. You’re probably saying to yourself — out loud possibly — there’s absolutely no way an Ultima GTR supercar (basically a Le Mans race car) has the same engine that’s sitting under the hood of your dad’s Chevy Tahoe. Well, it’s true. Believe it or not.
Ultima Sports Ltd built the GTR between 1999 and 2016, and it is considered the world’s quickest accelerating and decelerating supercar ever. It completed a Top Gear test lap 6.2 seconds faster than a Ferrari Enzo and 4 seconds faster than a much pricier Bugatti Veyron SS.
Top speeds and other ancillary stats (i.e., 0-60, quarter mile, etc.) depended entirely on which Chevy V8 sat under the hood because owners could choose from a wide variety with horsepower ranging from 300 to over 1000. For instance, a 2000 model year GTR with a Corvette LS1 V8 was capable of 462 horsepower and 350 ft-lbs of torque, reaching 156.7 mph, while a 2011 GTR with a 5.7-liter produced 355 horsepower and 405 ft-lb of torque with speeds of 185 mph.
In fact, over the years, automakers put the LS line of engines in a myriad of autos, from the usual suspects like Camaros and Corvettes to SUVs such as Cadillac’s Escalade, GMC’s Yukon and, of course, the Tahoe.
