Twin Turbo powered Ultima rocks on!

Custom tweaking a car is something that many of the auto enthusiasts enjoy dearly and while some just stick to the exterior others go a bit deeper than that. Custom crafting you car with a new engine that can power it up a lot better than the previous one is something not many of us would really do. It is only the die-hard car fanatics that want their stuff under the hood to be tinkered with so that it outperforms some other car or hits the particular speed in a span of time they wish.

A customer in Eastern Europe wanted the capability to outrun a Bugatti Veyron at track days with a street legal package. Obviously it was not a job for an amateur in his back yard (Though some would disagree with that) and so he went to Schwartz Extreme Performance and their technical team to get what he wanted. They put together a 1011 hp LS7 with small, quick spooling turbo for maximum drive off the corners, with a beefed up, re-geared, 6 speed transaxle, installed in a car that weighs 2300 lbs. added 15″ Schwartz / Baer Monoblock brakes with 19″ center-locking wheels.

The ended up creating the Schwartz twin turbo LS7 Ultima and it surely made the guy who brought in the car for all those changes pretty happy. The Ultima now handles great on the road and on the track it can sure out power the Bugatti Veyron, which is a feat in itself!
