Platform
Maxximus Technologies, Inc.'s Maxximus G-Force, recognized on October 7, 2008 by the World Records Academy as the world's fastest street-legal car, also used the Ultima GTR as its platform. There is very little mention of this on the Maxximus website. They claim to have designed this car from scratch.
Another car, the Stealth B6 is also apparently based around the Ultima. Supercarworld states "The Stealth was based on the Ultima Sports but with modified suspension and even more aggressive, if not tasteful, bodywork." However the website for Stealth Cars Ltd. states that the car was designed by engineer Bob Light, and no mention is made of Ultima.

Famous quotes containing the word platform:
“The use of literature is to afford us a platform whence we may command a view of our present life, a purchase by which we may move it.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Do you know I believe that [William Jennings] Bryan will force his nomination on the Democrats again. I believe he will either do this by advocating Prohibition, or else he will run on a Prohibition platform independent of the Democrats. But you will see that the year before the election he will organize a mammoth lecture tour and will make Prohibition the leading note of every address.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“Across Parker Avenue from the fort is the Site of the Old Gallows, where 83 men “stood on nothin’, a-lookin’ up a rope.” The platform had a trap wide enought to “accommodate” 12 men, but half that number was the highest ever reached. On two occasions six miscreants were executed. There were several groups of five, some quartets and trios.”
