Ginetta G40

The Ginetta G40 is a sports car built by Ginetta Cars, available as a road going G40R and as a race car in two specifications, the G40 Challenge for the Ginetta GT5 Challenge and the G40 Junior for the Ginetta Junior Championship. It replaced the Ginetta G20 race car, and the road version replaced the planned road going version of the G50. The race cars use a 1.8 litre Ford Zetec based inline four engine, with 165 horsepower in the most recent versions, a six speed Quaife sequential gearbox and a weight of about 800 kilograms. The G40R has a modified 2.0 litre Mazda MZR engine of 175 horsepower and reaches 97 kilometres per hour in 5.8 seconds. The race car received the Autosport National Car of the Year award for 2009, and Ginetta unveiled it publicly at Autosport International in 2010.
