Ultima Sport and Ultima Spyder is a supercar built by (then) kit-car manufacturers Ultima Sports Ltd. They are of a can-am design, with GRP bodywork set atop a bespoke chassis meant to accommodate a variety of engines from four to eight cylinders, or rotaries. The design is of a mid-engined, rear wheel drive layout, with a tubular steel space frame chassis. Originally meant as a kit car, Ultima began producing its first turn-key examples during the production run of the Sports/Spyder (the first such car being completed in 1993).
