Believe it or not, I sometimes glance through toy fliers and catalogs that come with our newspaper to get an idea of the direction kids are taking the toy industry. After all, the kids of today are the entrepreneurs and business leaders of tomorrow. How they play today directly impacts how they will view the [...]

Brits are a funny lot. What some may call stubbornness, others might call nationalistic pride. Either way, that hard headed manner is what has led them to win wars. It helped create the BRM Grand Prix car and it most likely had a role in creating the simply incredible Ultima brand of motorcars. Strangely it would [...]

Frustrated that Top Gear refused to run its GTR around the show's track, Ultima took matters into its own hands, acquiring private access, then breaking the Michael Schumacher-piloted Ferrari FXX 's time by nearly a second. Bizarrely, Top Gear apparently refused to feature the Ultima GTR because they thought it couldn't clear a speed bump. To drive home the roadability of the GTR, Ultima drove the...

A small, British car company is laying claim to the Top Gear test track lap record. The only problem, is that Top Gear was not involved. An Ultima spokesman said Top Gear had ignored repeated requests to feature its cars, so the private test session was organised instead. The GTR720 had been optimised for the circuit, but the spokesman said it was still completely road-legal, unlike the FXX. Setting...

You can’t get much higher up the supercar food chain than the Ferrari FXX. It is a modified and limited edition of the Ferrari Enzo — itself one of the great Maranello creations. Only 30 FXXs were built and you had to be invited to buy one. There is just one problem with it: owners can’t drive it on the road because it isn’t road legal.

Miss out on your chance to pick up a Ferrari FXX? German tuning firm Edo Competition’s got your back. It may not be identical to the FXX, but it’s clearly what they’re going for in their latest iteration of the Enzo. Plus, I’m sure it’s cheaper than the $1.9 million FXX asking price, and you [...]

Last Sunday's disturbing 7th episode brought an end to the 13th series of Top Gear. Was it the budget cuts? Or was it triskaidekaphobia ? All Top Gear fans will agree that S13 was definitely one of the least exciting series. Episode 1 started off with a bombshell - a car vs motorbike vs train epic race. Followed by Ferrari FXX posting an incredible time around the track – 1:10.7 . Then there...
