    Default 2008 Autosport Car of the Year: Ginetta G50






    http://www.ginettacars.com/news_details.php?id=37

    Autoblog....

    Lawrence Tomlinson bought historic British car maker Ginetta in 2005, and in just three years his team has hit it over the wall with the maker's first car under his tenure: the Ginetta G50, has taken Autosport's number one slot in its Top 10 Cars of the Year.

    The G50's attractions are obvious: It is light (1,750 lbs), powerful (300 horsepower six-cylinder), and relatively inexpensive (£35,000-or around $51,000 USD). It comes in three flavors for now: Roadgoing coupe, G50 Cup Car, and a GT4 model for the FIA GT4 series. The Cup Car had its own one-make race series in Britain, and that was so successful it also won an award in Motorsport News. Coming in 2009 for Ginetta: a G50Z for GT3 competition, an electric Ginetta G50, and expansion onto the Continent with a one-make series in Spain fielding the Ginetta G20.

    Ginetta has been around since the 60's. They have even been in Gran Turismo 4.

    Just another British shed car trying to be better Porsche.


    The new G50 is so beautiful imo.

    Good looking car, only thing that bugs me is the lines between the bumper and hood.
