G40R
I have raced in some of the most exciting competitions in the world and the G40R design is based on that experience. It s exactly what a pure enthusiast s car should be with everything focused around the driver s enjoyment. On the track you get a recognised giant killer offering a racing thoroughbred with enough excitement to thrill even the most experienced driver. I love driving the G40R and am immensely proud of it. On the road you get a unique, fun and rewarding performance-based driver s car. 2 Lawrence Tomlinson Chairman
Contents Page Welcome 3 Introduction 5 Specification 7 Ginetta Bloodline 9 Merchandise 10 welcome to ginetta Established in 1958, the Ginetta name has a prestigious road and race car heritage spanning more than 50 years. However, it is perhaps the British marque s more recent history that is by far the most exciting. Over the last 5 years, thanks to Lawrence s vision and determination, the brand has expanded at a staggering pace. In its new purpose built factory, including its own carbon fibre shop and engine development facility, the business has grown significantly. All Ginetta models are designed, engineered and developed in-house. Gaining an impressive racing CV under the banner of Team LNT, which includes a famous GT2 class win at the Le Mans 24hr, Lawrence and the Ginetta team have applied that racing experience to race car design. Over the last 5 years, the company have designed, engineered and developed a range of award winning race cars including the G40, G50 and G55 models. The expertise and knowledge gained from manufacturing these championship winning race cars has now been used to bring Ginetta back to the road car market with the G40R; Ginetta s first new road car in over 15 years.

GINETTA G40R FROM 29,950 A race car for the road, the G40R shares a number of characteristics with its G40 racing sibling, representing the culmination of Ginetta s racing pedigree translated perfectly into a road car. Harking back to a bygone era when cars were machines designed to be driven, everything about the G40R is kept faithful to the pure driving experience. Responsive handling, strong FIA approved safety cell and lightweight body all combine to produce a perfectly proportioned, stunning car that is impossible to drive without sporting a wide grin. It s simple. Drive to the circuit, win and drive home again. Introduction Ginetta G40R 5

Ultimately, though, the absence of sophistication is what makes the G40R so refreshing to drive. For the 100 or so people who Ginetta is hoping will buy one each year, there will indeed be nothing quite like it. steve sutcliff AUTOcar 8
