Side on view is not pretty at all, vent and door details are downright sloppy.

quite nice looking car, but for 70k it looks a bit to kit car , especially with that interior

I think it's fantastic... pedigree, looks, specs.

Not sure why it has to be in "BMW Ginger" though.

It has the styling of a kit car from 20 years ago. Who on earth thought that great big duct thing in the door looks good ?

Orange is Ginetta's and LNT's corporate colour. It has been in the Ginetta badge since the formation of the company some 50 odd years ago.

Ginetta has an interesting history that even includes the development of an F1 car (never raced) and some giant killing by the G4

Are they going to re-launch the supercharged version, or was that a step too far for this engine?
The 3.0 works well in the Noble M12.
I'd love too see a 4-500 bhp/tonne version of this car, Ginetta seem to have more back up than Farbio did.

Looks like an uglier, more expensive and slower little brother of the late Noble M12. Which is precisely what I would buy (albeit second hand only now) if I wanted a lightweight, powerful and great riding British sports car.

Looks wise definately not my cup of tea, I think the original Farbio thing was much prettier.

If Lawrence wants the G60 to be taken seriously,launching it in a tent at Silverstone draped in blonde bimbos is not the image most buyers of an expensive car would want to be associated with.
If your moving your products up-market,everything has to move with them.

Car looks terrific!

Im not seeing the link with the Vortex? The front looks a bit similar in the same way a lot of reasonably aerodynamic sports cars do?

Ginetta, well done, looks very good, also the weight, looks more sporty/lighter then the car were the rights came from and enough changed to call it a real Ginetta.

EddyP...I could post up at least five cars that look 'similar' to the new Ginetta, that kit car wouldnt be one of them!

Is that a speaker in the door facing upwards? Shirley that will get full of bits of biscuit, fag ash and rain? confused

Looks like it's just a slight depression in the carbon fibre to me, sort of a half-arsed cup holder. hehe

I like it,

But i really do think it needs to be £5k cheaper, with 50Bhp more, a nicer wheel and some larger more in proportion dials,

Its nearly there, i hope it sounds the part too!
