In 1989, the updated Mk3 replaced the Mk2. The Mk3 itself was heavily revised in 1992, becoming the Mk4 which was sold as the
Ultima Sport. The Mk3 would make up half of Ultima sales by the end of its life because 13 of the 26 total Ultima Kits sold would be Mk3's. The car would be the final Ultima developed by
Lee Noble. There would be a novel chassis made for the car, an
Aluminium Tubular chassis, now fit exclusively with the
Porsche G50 5-speed, used also in the Mk2. Ted Marlow and Lee Noble would establish
Ultima Sports Ltd to build the Mk3. Even though the prototype of the
Sport and the Mk3 RS Race Car would use an
Inline 4 from a
Darrian T90, there would be no standard option to have an Inline 4 in the Sport or Mk3. Two Mk3 chassis were supplied by Noble Motorsport Ltd. to
McLaren Cars in 1991 to serve as test beds for the
McLaren F1. Both cars were crushed, however, a replica of Edward has since by built for Mouse Motors by
Lanzante Limited using an original BMW S70 engine.
