Highly doubtful if you look at the size of the thermal management solution in the Mac Studio....
Apple must think that this is necessary for optimal performance, so I don't see this going into a laptop, unless if were down clocked so much that it wasn't much faster than the M1 Max.
This is the answer. Its been a long time since a mini or a mini derivative held the performance crown next to the MacBook Pro in both GPU and CPU but here we are. It's the fastest Mac...ever...
I don't think so. Apple wants thin and quiet laptop with long battery life. So there is not a chance they will put the M1 Ultra in the 16". They could do it in theory, but it won't happen.

18" being the thickness?
No, seriously, as Fomalhaut already pointed out, the Mx Ultra obviously produces too much heat for a laptop.
Not really. If Apple made gaming laptops, they could easily fit in a M1 Ultra in it. But those are not the type of laptops Apple makes. They could do it if they really wanted to.
The line up needs to include an ultra portable fanless 12" or 13".
I would prefer 12" which would have a nice progression 12-14-16-18.
But as others say, the 18" M1 Ultra is probably not feasible, but it would be a beast even with a lowly M1 Max 😉
No,
1. Apple can’t cool an Ultra chip in a Macbook chassis
2. Even if they could, they can’t provide enough power to the chip when on Battery power
3. Make a bigger laptop with a beefier cooling solution and beefier battery? Not happening as MBP battery is already at the limit of what’s allowed on airplanes.
Ultra is a desktop chip.
