Driving performance is spartan spec, comfort performance is luxury-oriented

Let’s take a look at the specifications of the Ultima Can-Am Spyder again. Firstly, the engine is a Chevrolet V8 7200cc engine mounted in the rear. The suspension is by Ultima, the brakes are AP Racing, the wheels are OZ and the tires are Hoosier Sports (F: 245/35R18, R: 335/30R18).

Also, the drivetrain to cope with the high-power engine and ultra-thick high-grip tires has all been replaced with strengthened components, with a Getrag 6-speed manual transmission and an Ultima clutch and LSD set.

A peek into the cockpit reveals bucket seats upholstered in beige genuine leather for a luxury-oriented look. And it’s interesting to note that the steering wheel is a Sparco F-10C, the audio system is a Rockford T4652-S and the car navigation system is a Carrozzeria DMH-SF700. It looks and drives like a completely spartan racing car, but it is loaded with comfort equipment and can be enjoyed cruising elegantly with the air conditioning on.

This is precisely the kind of car that is the rare model that perfectly embodies both a road-going car and a track machine.
