But I found the replacement (well...in a few years):

Depends on the engine you put in I guess.

From "Pricing, options, & ordering":
"All that is required to complete the GTR is a small block Chevrolet engine and a standard Porsche G50 transaxle."

I wonder if it takes any other engines.

And from the FAQ, they are "road legal." I'm guessing that's in UK though.


Dude, RTFM!

oh and here's something else from the FAQ...

Which engine should I use in my Ultima?

The factory has designed the Ultima to accept the small block Chevrolet V8 from 300bhp to over 600bhp.
The factory does not recommend and cannot offer any support to customers fitting alternative engines.
