The Ginetta-Zytek GZ09S was a Le Mans Prototype race car of the LMP1 class, built by Zytek Engineering after its partial merger with Ginetta. It was an evolutionary update of the Zytek 07S, with the bodywork altered to meet the 2009 prototype regulations announced for that year's 24 Hours of Le Mans. Power came from a 4.5-litre naturally aspirated Zytek ZJ458 V8 rated at 635 hp (474 kW). Strakka Racing moved up to LMP1 with a GZ09S in 2009 and Danny Watts took pole position at the car's debut, the 1000 km of Catalunya. Corsa Motorsports ran a hybrid version in the American Le Mans Series and finished third overall at the 2009 Northeast Grand Prix, and Nigel Mansell's team entered the car in 2009 and 2010. Changes to the LMP1 rules for 2011 left it ineligible, and the GZ09S was retired.
