Ginetta to reveal its all new supercar in Geneva

Combining the precision engineering expertise gained from manufacturing race cars for a range of global race series with the company's heritage in high-power, low-weight road cars, the new supercar is a driver-orientated yet usable package.

Taking the unique Ginetta character and bloodline that goes back to road cars such as the giant-killer G10 of the 1960s and infusing technology from Ginetta's 2019 LMP1 car, the new supercar represents a truly individual supercar offering.

This optimised design with mid-mid layout required a bespoke drivetrain, which was developed entirely in-house specifically for the supercar. Given the low volume of production, Ginetta weren't compromised by having to utilise an existing chassis or drivetrain, allowing the engineers to optimise every aspect of the car.

Key to the car's performance was not just the engine position but the design of the unit itself. The engine is an ultra compact and lightweight unit mounted much further back than conventional supercars in a central mid-mid position.

This layout allowed the engineers to achieve optimal aerodynamics, a weight distribution of 49% front and 51% rear, utilise a race-derived suspension set-up tweaked for excellent on-road feel and even create a large boot.

A dry-sumped 6.0-litre 90-degree V8, constructed from a single aluminium billet block with forged inners, the unit is manufactured in-house by Ginetta's engineers and even features Ginetta's own design of throttle bodies.

Power is over 600bhp, with torque figures of 700Nm, resulting in a power to weight ratio of 545bhp per tonne. Being naturally aspirated engine, response is immediate and balancing the car on the throttle requires no electronic aids.

Ginetta have partnered with another industry-leading British manufacturer to create a bespoke gearbox for the new car - a six-speed sequential paddle shift unit with carbon propshaft. This unit not only delivers lightning fast changes but provides a soundtrack akin to the supercar's racing siblings.
