Does this new nose looks like it generates more downforce than the current one? Don't really like the center section though, looks too plain. This new nose reminds me of the Stealth B6 front end.

Too right it does. Looks a bit like the Daytona 24hr winning Lexus Riley car. Durty gurt big front splitter and massive wing vents and you'll stick to the track.

Nice.

Talked with them today. That front end will not fit an Ultima. It's made for another chassi and it is 30 cm longer than the GTR front. They will release a totally new car during late 2008. Will be very interesting and possible my next project... smile

I think a nice addition might be molded in louvers on top of the fenders (or do you blokes call them "wings"? smile ) to vent the high pressure area in the front wheel wells. If they were modular (replaceable) and could be retrofitted to existing bodies, all the better!

Yes I believe some nice vents may be incorporated, specially round the brake discs

Who is producing a totally new car, the Ultima factory?
