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:
“I have never yet spoken from a public platform about women in industry that someone has not said, “But things are far better than they used to be.” I confess to impatience with persons who are satisfied with a dangerously slow tempo of progress for half of society in an age which requires a much faster tempo than in the days that “used to be.” Let us use what might be instead of what has been as our yardstick!”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
“... a Christian has neither more nor less rights in our association than an atheist. When our platform becomes too narrow for people of all creeds and of no creeds, I myself cannot stand upon it.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
“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)
