Ginetta G50

The Ginetta G50 is a specialist GT4 class racing car designed by Ginetta Cars, developed in under six months after Lawrence Tomlinson bought the company, to a base specification he penned, to celebrate 50 years of Ginetta production. It was launched in 2008 and was awarded Autosport National Car of the Year in its first year. It has its own one make series, now the Ginetta GT Supercup, and won the GT4 European Cup in 2009 and the British GT Championship GT4 class five times. A road version was shown in April 2008 and planned with a V6 or V8, but general production was shelved and the smaller G40 launched instead. Ginetta also built a G50 EV prototype with a 90 kilowatt electric motor in 2009 and a G50Z GT3 car with a V8.
