Dirty thoughts- G40R

The Ginetta G40R looks quite tempting!

I admit, the rear of the car takes some getting use to, but the spec is all I want, and it’s a “road” car which should fit in well on circuit if / when I fancy a play (which is getting infrequent these days :frowning: ).

If I was to change car, the G40R looks a good candidate. Or am I crazy to consider another (even) lower volume handmade plastic tub?? :crazy:

Good choice, on the face of it, Tom :sunglasses:

I read a recent test on a Ginetta and they concluded that while OK on the road the interior really let it down for a 30k car

Your Lotus is reliable and I guess this wouldn’t be

On second thoughts it looks like a bag of $hit - and have you wondered why there are no pics of the interior ? I’ll tell you why - it’s a bag of $hit :smiley:

I think you’ll find that LNT knows what he’s doing - it’s meant to be a road legal track car. Why should it be unreliable, given it’s mechanical base?

With regards the interior - who cares, even if it is somewhat basic?

You pays your money, & you get wheels :smiley:

Whose engine do they use:

1999cc in-line 4-cylinder, 16-valve, DOHC
Electronic fuel injection
Petrol developing 175bhp and 190Nm at 5000rpm
0-60mph: 5.8s
Top speed: 140mph

Liking all I read about Ginetta, seems they have ethos Lotus used to have in the past. Agree the rear end could be better.

795kg is a big plus :smiley:

Also, if I was in the market for the Exige V6 then the Ginetta G50 might be an option also (is it available as a road going car?)

Engines are Ford :wink:
