Ultima Can-Am

Ultima Can-Am

Production Years: 2001-2016

The Ultima Can-Am has been superseded by the Ultima Evolution Convertible and is no longer produced. Spare parts are available for this model.

Launched in 2001, the Ultima Can-Am is a sensational convertible road car that boasts exactly the same league of world beating performance as the Ultima GTR, but in an exhilarating wind in the hair experience.

At the heart of every Ultima Can-Am convertible is the company's race-proven spaceframe chassis which, allied to purpose-built independent suspension and bespoke parts throughout, offers a level of handling and road-holding way beyond any conventional car.

Power is provided by a mid-mounted Chevrolet V8 engine mated to a Porsche transaxle. In standard 300bhp tune it's enough to propel the Can-Am from 0-60mph in under four seconds before posting a top speed which is best described as more than adequate!

The Can-Am was available with a full range of road car options including a fully waterproof soft top roof which was designed to remain watertight even at speeds exceeding 200mph, air conditioning, leather trim and sealed luggage compartments for continental touring. The Can-Am was also available with interchangeable front screen options.

The production car feel of the Ultima is immediately apparent, from the specially moulded headlight housings and covers to the immaculate panel fit and lack of any external body catches.
