Ultima GTR: which version to buy (2001–2015)
The Ultima GTR is a single-generation Coupe sold from 2001-01-01 to 2015-12-31 with three 6.3 MT versions. They share the same name in the catalogue, so the buying choice is the power split: 6.3 MT 535 hp (394 kW), 6.3 MT 640 hp (471 kW), and 6.3 MT 720 hp (530 kW). All three are Gasoline, 6300 cm³, 8 cylinders, V-shaped, RWD, Manual.

All three are Gasoline, 6300 cm³, 8 cylinders, V-shaped, RWD, Manual. The 535 hp car is a 5-speed with No boost; the 640 hp and 720 hp cars are 6-speed. Boost is No on 535 hp and 640 hp, Turbo on 720 hp. There is one generation, so you are not choosing a later body or a restyle — you are choosing output, gears, boost, measured 0–100, and whether kerb weight is on the sheet.
Which Ultima GTR version to buy
If you want the lightest measured car and a 6-speed without Turbo, buy 6.3 MT 640 hp: kerb weight 991 kg, 0–100 in 2.7 s, fuel 95, 2 valves per cylinder, No boost.
If you want the highest listed power, the only Turbo, the only measured top speed, and the shortest 0–100, buy 6.3 MT 720 hp: 720 hp / 530 kW at 6700 rpm, 580 Nm at 4500 rpm, fuel 98, 0–100 in 2.6 s, top speed 378, kerb weight 1050 kg, 6-speed, 2 valves per cylinder.
If you want peak listed torque and the 5-speed, buy 6.3 MT 535 hp: 535 hp / 394 kW at 5800 rpm, 716 Nm at 4800 rpm, No boost. Its 0–100, top speed, fuel grade, kerb weight, and valves per cylinder are not measured.
Ground clearance is 110 mm on every 6.3 MT. Front and rear suspension are Independent, spring on every version. Front brakes are Ventilated disc; rear brakes are Disc ventilated. Fuel tank, CO2, eco class, wheel sizes, city/highway/combined consumption, and engine position are not measured on any version.
Ultima GTR specs by version (engine, gearbox, drive)
| Version | hp | kW | rpm (hp) | Nm | rpm (Nm) | cm³ | Fuel type | Cylinders | Layout | Boost | Gearbox | Gears | Drive |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6.3 MT (535 hp) | 535 | 394 | 5800 | 716 | 4800 | 6300 | Gasoline | 8 | V-shaped | No | Manual | 5 | RWD |
| 6.3 MT (640 hp) | 640 | 471 | not measured | not measured | not measured | 6300 | Gasoline | 8 | V-shaped | No | Manual | 6 | RWD |
| 6.3 MT (720 hp) | 720 | 530 | 6700 | 580 | 4500 | 6300 | Gasoline | 8 | V-shaped | Turbo | Manual | 6 | RWD |
Injection is Distributed injection (multi-point) on all three 6.3 MT versions. Valves per cylinder: not measured on 535 hp; 2 on 640 hp; 2 on 720 hp. Compression ratio and bore × stroke are not measured.
What the extra power buys (arithmetic on the listed numbers)
Displacement is 6300 cm³ on every 6.3 MT, so specific output is power divided by 6.3 litres:
- 6.3 MT 535 hp: 535 ÷ 6.3 ≈ 84.9 hp per litre.
- 6.3 MT 640 hp: 640 ÷ 6.3 ≈ 101.6 hp per litre — about 16.7 hp/l more than 535 hp, from the same 6300 cm³, still No boost.
- 6.3 MT 720 hp: 720 ÷ 6.3 ≈ 114.3 hp per litre — about 12.7 hp/l more than 640 hp, and the only Turbo.
Power steps:
- 640 − 535 = 105 hp (471 − 394 = 77 kW) to move from the 5-speed 6.3 MT to the 6-speed 640 hp 6.3 MT.
- 720 − 640 = 80 hp (530 − 471 = 59 kW) to add Turbo and reach the 720 hp 6.3 MT.
- 720 − 535 = 185 hp (530 − 394 = 136 kW) from the least to the most powerful 6.3 MT.
Torque is not a straight ladder. 6.3 MT 535 hp lists 716 Nm at 4800 rpm. 6.3 MT 720 hp lists 580 Nm at 4500 rpm — 136 Nm less than the 535 hp car, despite 185 hp more. 6.3 MT 640 hp torque is not measured, so you cannot rank the middle car on Newton-metres.
Peak-power rpm is 5800 on 535 hp and 6700 on 720 hp (900 rpm higher). Peak-power rpm on 640 hp is not measured. Peak-torque rpm is 4800 on 535 hp and 4500 on 720 hp; not measured on 640 hp.
Ultima GTR 0–100, top speed, mpg
0–100:
- 6.3 MT 535 hp: not measured.
- 6.3 MT 640 hp: 2.7 s.
- 6.3 MT 720 hp: 2.6 s — 0.1 s quicker than 640 hp.
Top speed:
- 6.3 MT 535 hp: not measured.
- 6.3 MT 640 hp: not measured.
- 6.3 MT 720 hp: 378 — the only version with a measured top speed.
Fuel consumption (city, highway, combined) is not measured on any 6.3 MT. There is no mpg figure in the data, so economy cannot be ranked. Fuel grade is not measured on 535 hp, 95 on 640 hp, 98 on 720 hp. The Turbo 6.3 MT 720 hp is the only one specified for 98; the 640 hp No-boost 6.3 MT is the only one specified for 95. Tank size is not measured. CO2 and eco class are not measured.
Ultima GTR dimensions, weight, ground clearance
Kerb weight:
- 6.3 MT 535 hp: not measured.
- 6.3 MT 640 hp: 991 kg.
- 6.3 MT 720 hp: 1050 kg — 59 kg heavier than 640 hp.
Gross weight is not measured on all three. Ground clearance is 110 mm on all three. Wheel sizes are not measured. Tank is not measured.
Power-to-weight where both numbers exist:
- 6.3 MT 640 hp: 991 kg ÷ 640 hp ≈ 1.55 kg per hp.
- 6.3 MT 720 hp: 1050 kg ÷ 720 hp ≈ 1.46 kg per hp — about 0.09 kg/hp lighter per horsepower than 640 hp, even though absolute kerb weight is 59 kg higher.
- 6.3 MT 535 hp: kg per hp cannot be calculated; kerb weight is not measured.
The 640 hp 6.3 MT is the lightest measured car. The 720 hp 6.3 MT is the densest measured power-to-weight. The 535 hp 6.3 MT cannot be placed on that scale.
Ultima GTR generations: what changed (and what did not)
There is 1 generation: 1 generation, Coupe, 2001-01-01 to 2015-12-31, 3 versions. All three 6.3 MT share that window and that body. There is no second generation to buy for a newer chassis, and restyling is not listed as a separate generation.
What is identical across the generation: Coupe; 6300 cm³ Gasoline; 8 cylinders; V-shaped; Distributed injection (multi-point); RWD; Manual; Independent, spring front and rear; Ventilated disc front; Disc ventilated rear; 110 mm clearance; production 2001-01-01–2015-12-31.
What actually separates the three 6.3 MT cars inside that generation:
1. Output: 535 / 640 / 720 hp and 394 / 471 / 530 kW. 2. Boost: No, No, Turbo. 3. Gears: 5 on 535 hp; 6 on 640 hp and 720 hp. 4. Torque sheet: 716 Nm on 535 hp; not measured on 640 hp; 580 Nm on 720 hp. 5. Fuel grade: not measured / 95 / 98. 6. 0–100: not measured / 2.7 / 2.6. 7. Top speed: not measured / not measured / 378. 8. Kerb weight: not measured / 991 / 1050. 9. Valves per cylinder: not measured / 2 / 2.
Decision grid: 6.3 MT 535 hp vs 640 hp vs 720 hp
Buy 6.3 MT 535 hp if you want 716 Nm (the highest listed torque) and a 5-speed Manual, and you accept that 0–100, top speed, kerb weight, fuel grade, and valves per cylinder are not measured. You give up 105 hp versus 640 hp and 185 hp versus 720 hp. You stay on No boost and 84.9 hp/l.
Buy 6.3 MT 640 hp if you want 6 gears and No boost, the lowest measured kerb weight (991 kg), fuel 95, and a measured 2.7 s 0–100. You pay 59 kg less than the 720 hp car and 80 hp less. Torque and top speed are not measured, so you cannot claim it is stronger in Newton-metres or faster at the top than the others from this sheet.
Buy 6.3 MT 720 hp if you want Turbo, 720 hp / 530 kW, 6 gears, fuel 98, 2.6 s 0–100, and the only measured top speed (378). You accept 1050 kg kerb weight (59 kg more than 640 hp) and 580 Nm (136 Nm less than the 535 hp 6.3 MT). You get the best listed kg/hp among versions that have a kerb weight (≈1.46 versus ≈1.55).
There is no automatic, no extra body style, and no later generation in this catalogue. The name on every modification page is 6.3 MT; match it by 535 hp, 640 hp, or 720 hp. Prices are not in the data, so “what the extra money buys” here means what the extra 105 hp, extra 80 hp, extra gear, Turbo, 0.1 s, 59 kg, 95 versus 98, and measured versus not-measured fields buy on the specification sheet — not a market price.
