Default Ginetta G50 Track and Road car

Just been watching these things race on TV as part of the BTCC support line-up.

Here's the road version which is based on the race car apparently.

What a great looking car and great concept too.

Ford V6 with sequential box, RWD 300hp and lightweight. There's also a lekki one as well for your Eco types and I suspect it'll be a tad cheaper than that Tesla thing.

Just down the road near Leeds; Might have to go and take a look

The Ginetta G50 race car is supposedly very well put together.

I seem to recall that Mikey K was interested in one of these a while back and did a fair bit of research.

Drop him a PM if you need some more information.

I am interested LTB but not in buying one any time soon

I quite fancy going to the factory for a peruse though, as long as perusing is free

Good catch by Potato in race 3 as well - I don't like him but it was pretty impressive.

There were a couple of those at Silverstone a week or so ago. Looked very quick and a like a lightweight Aston from some angles.

i too think the g50's are stunning. almost a TVR competitor - powerful engine, good looks and 2 seater.

would be interesting to see what price they go for - i bet for around 35-45k.

G50 wasn't availabe as a roadcar when I last looked.
Seeing one go up in flames at Oulton put me off a bit
