Ginetta will launch an all-new British sports car for 2008, designated the Ginetta G50, the car has been designed in-house at LNT Automotive's new purpose-built factory in Leeds.
The G50 is a celebration of 50 years of British sports car manufacturing by the company, and has been designed as the base for a new generation of Ginetta sports cars.
2008 and will see the Ginetta ‘G50 Cup Car' launched, this car is designed to bridge the gap between singlemake sports car racing such as the current Ginetta G20 championship – and GT cars such as the new GT4 Championship, GT3 and GT2 .
The Ginetta G50 is a rear-wheel drive car, powered by a front-mid mounted Ford 3.5- litre, V6 engine producing 300 bhp, with a five-speed sequential gearbox.
A G50 Cup Car series will be created, with the focus on keeping running costs to a minimum by using control tyres, control fuel and low maintenance costs through clever design. Ginetta will offer a spares and support service at all race and test events.
The series will consist of 10 race weekends, with eight events confirmed to be supporting the SRO F3/GT package alongside the current Texaco Havoline Ginetta Championship. Two stand alone, long distance events are also planned with a substantial prize fund and TV coverage guaranteed by Ginetta.
Lawrence Tomlinson, Chairman of LNT Automotive said: ''We've designed the G50 as a stepping stone for GT drivers. Production of the first 30 cars is well under way with a mixture of cup, road and GT4 cars available from early 2008.''
Further news and details will be announced over the coming months as the race car design is completed and goes into full time production.Source - Ginetta
