    Ginetta - Cars - G40 Road

    Ginetta G40 R review

    What is it?

    The G40R is Ginetta’s most recent foray into the road car market, and it’s a car designed predominantly for track day enthusiasts who like to drive, rather than trailer, their machines to the circuit.

    It costs £29,950 and Ginetta hopes to find homes for around 100 cars each year, a modest but realistic target from a company that has, in recent years, concentrated purely on building racing cars.

    The engine is a tuned 2.0-litre Ford Duratec lump that develops 175bhp at 6700rpm and 140lb ft at 5000rpm – in standard form. This can be pumped up to anywhere between 200-280bhp if the customer so requires (and they have the budget to match) but even with 175bhp the rear-drive G40R is decidedly rapid.

    And that’s because it weighs a mere 840kg with half a tank of fuel on board, giving it a power-to-weight ratio far in excess of even the fruitiest hot hatchbacks on sale today.

    What’s it like?


    Even when you blip the throttle at a standstill there’s an immediacy of response to the G40R that’s simply not there in everyday cars of 2011. The clutch is heavy, the big ventilated disc brakes heavier still underfoot (they’ll be lighter on the production models) but the throttle weight is sweetly judged, and as it moves away the G40R feels alive and direct beneath your backside.

    And yet the ride is actually pretty decent for such a small, lightweight machine. At parking speeds the non-assisted steering seems heavy to the point of being cumbersome. But the moment you get going the weight disappears and is replaced by a deliciously crisp response.

    There’s a feel and precision through the G40R’s steering the like of which you might not have experienced in a car with a roof on for a very long time; and the lack of movement required at the rim to exact a change in direction is akin to that of a single-seater racing car.

    As for the performance, handling and brakes, there’s a lot that’s good, some bits that are very good and only a few things that grate about the G40R. On paper it’s quick enough to just about deal with a Renault Clio Cup in a straight line while driving rings around it in corners. But on the road it feels way fruitier than that, partly because there’s a lot of noise to accompany what is undoubtedly a decent amount of thrust, but mainly because it has such an amusingly well sorted rear-drive chassis – which can be endlessly adjusted by playing with the dampers if an owner so wishes.

    But what’s really appealing about the G40R on the road is the sensation of speed you get when driving it. Because of the exhaust bark and the proximity of your backside to the road itself, the G40R always feels faster than it actually is. Which is good.

    As for the way it can be hurled at corners and drifted gently through them, with either a quarter turn of understeer or a full armful of oversteer – depending how committed you are with the throttle and what’s coming the other way – the G40R is just a hugely entertaining car to drive.

    One that also benefits from a snappy six speed manual gearbox (courtesy of the MX5) a proper limited slip diff at the back (ditto) and more pure braking power than most other road cars on sale.

    Because in the end, that’s what 840kg and a set of big ventilated discs at each corner does for you. Take away the inertia of a normal road car (ie its weight) and replace it with a bespoke, track-developed set of underpinnings and you can’t help but end up with a smile on your face. And that’s precisely what the G40R delivers.

    OK, it may be somewhat basic in its appeal, lacking the luxuries of most other road cars – although it does boast a boot that can swallow two sets of golf clubs plus a cabin that’s sparse but acceptable for everyday use. But ultimately it’s the absence of sophistication that makes the G40R such a simple but refreshing car to drive.

    Should I buy one?


    It might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but for the committed enthusiast who’s looking for a fast, affordable, uncomplicated means of driving to – and then ruling at – tracks days, there’s nothing else quite like the G40R. Not only does it provides a clear and welcome indicator that Ginetta is back in business making road cars, it’s also a sign post of what’s to come. And that could be very exciting indeed.

    Minimamente interessante, não?

    Acho o carro muito bonito. Grandes performances graças ao seu baixo peso. Só é pena haver pouco carros assim, leves e ágeis com motores pequenos mais em conta para os dia de hoje. Só o lotus elise é que cumpre estes requisitos, era interessante se houvesse mais oferta no mercado.

      só acho que deviam ter posto mais 25 ou 30 cv no carro, daria um poder bem mais interessante e o motor mantinha-se praticamente o mesmo. de resto, a fuínha está de volta!

          Temos de olhar para este carro como um "track-toy", que, por acaso, permite andar em estrada.
          Não foi feito propriamente para mimar o condutor.
          Deve ser a p*ta da loucura... Nada de filtros ou isolantes. Isto é mesmo para quem delira com gases de escape

                  A debitar 310cv a partir de um 3.7L, com cerca de 1100kg de peso, dotado de capacidade para atingir 265km/h de velocidade máxima e de fazer o clássico exercício dos 0 aos 100km/h em cerca de 4s, o GXX deverá chegar ao mercado com uma carroçaria em fibra de carbono e um preço aproximado de £68000.

                    Apresentado o novo Ginetta G60.
                    Ginetta G60



                    Ginetta ha presentato la G60, derivata come ampiamente anticipato dal progetto Farbio GTS. La due posti vede il ritorno di Ginetta al motore centrale dopo oltre 20 anni, quando fu realizzata la G32 con motore Ford. La nuova G60 sarà costruita in 50 esemplari e proposta ad un prezzo di 68.000 Sterline, pari a circa 75.500 Euro al cambio attuale.
                    Il progetto della Farbio è stato rivisto dai tecnici Ginetta, pur mantenendo lo schema del telaio in tubi, modificando la posizione di guida ed alcuni pannelli della carrozzeria per ridurre il peso al minimo indispensabile. Non sono previsti nè servosterzo, nè servofreno, nè ABS nè controllo elettronico di assistenza alla guida. In totale la vettura riesce a dichiarare un peso inferiore ai 1100 kg ed è motorizzata con un propulsore Ford V6 3,7 litri da 310 Cv, normalmente utilizzato dalla Mustang e già montato sulla Ginetta G55 da competizione. La trasmissione manuale a 6 rapporti, sempre di origine Ford, è abbinata ad un differenziale autobloccante Quaife. La G60 tocca i 100 km/h in meno di 4 secondi e supera i 265 km/h di punta massima.

                      Ulha, o Farbio GTS ainda vive!
                      AS saídas na traseira estão ali um tanto ou quanto postas à martelada.
                      Se eles não estragaram o equilibrio do chassis, que era um dos pontos fortes do Farbio, esta variante lightweight do carro e despida de "civismo" promete ser um predador do asfalto

                          2013 Ginetta G60 and G40R announced for Salon Prive

                          Both models are hand-built in Yorkshire

                          British specialty marque Ginetta will bring at next month's Salon Privé the 2013 G60 and G40R.

                          The 1,080 kg (2,380 lbs) G60 benefits from a carbon fiber body and packs a Ford Mustang-derived V6 3.7-liter engine outputting 310 bhp (231 kW) which is enough for a 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in 4.9 seconds and a top speed of 165 mph (265 km/h).

                          As for the G40R, this is essentially a road-going version of the G40 racer and offers 200 bhp (149 kW) from its 2.0-liter, 4-cylinder engine. It weighs only 850 kg (1,873 lbs) and will reach 62 mph in 5.9 seconds before topping at 140 mph (225 km/h).

                          Salon Privé will be organized this year between 4 and 6 of September when Ginetta will introduce a luxury clothing collection known as "Lifestyle" which promises to reflect the company's heritage in motorsport .

                                  Adoro as PMEs inglesas de carros desportivos de preço "baixo" como a Lotus, a Caterham e a Atom, esta é mais uma fantástica, adorava trabalhar a montar um carro para uma empresa destas
