Ginetta G25

Automobiles

The Ginetta G25 was a one-off mid-engined prototype two-seater sports car shown to the public for the first time in June 1983. It was based on Ford Fiesta running gear and used a 1.3 litre Ford engine, and only the single prototype was built, so it never went into production. In the company's numbering it falls between the G24 of 1980 and the G26 sports saloon announced in July 1984, a period in which Ginetta was moving back to kit cars built from Ford parts and also offering the GRS Tora estate. The G25 is therefore best understood as a short-lived experiment in a mid-engined layout rather than a model that customers could buy.
