Early cars built in the late 1980s also lifted their V-6 engine from Alfa, but that unit was eventually jettisoned in favor of Nissan's twin-turbocharged RB26, tuned to provide as much as 500 hp in the Mark 2 model.The Stradale's body was built from fiberglass and Kevlar in a bid to reduce mass without sacrificing strength.
The mid-engine GTR was built by fellow British brand Noble during the 1980s and '90s, but in 1992 the rights to the vehicles were purchased by a company that would come to be known as Ultima Sports.
