RE: 200mph, 545hp per tonne Ginetta unveiled
Discussion
Utter utter dross, that wouldnt sell at £5k let alone the suggested half a mill.
Why do these small Brit car companies continue to try and dominate a market thats owned by an established few ?
Ginetta have a very nice little niche that they are very good at filling, so why waste time and money on something that is so obviously set to fail ?
Even a one eyed man could tell that things fugly from 500 yards away, in the dark, if it was raining....

I love Ginetta, but I hope they haven't bet the farm on this.
That said, if I already had a garage of exotica, I could see a place for this, it certainly sounds more special than many off-the-shelf sports cars. The G40 is >£40K for 135HP, after all.

Well its looks are schizophrenic, but so is its fundamental design ... big downforce numbers, engine block machined from a billet, but its front-engined!
Is it a touring coupe or a track monster? If the latter then the engine goes behind the seats, nowhere else’s .
The engine is well behind the front axle, pretty much under the dashboard. Front mid engined in the true sense.Is it a touring coupe or a track monster? If the latter then the engine goes behind the seats, nowhere else’s .

Seems they know it’s a munter - closeups only don’t show the whole front end for more than a nano second
This is the world today.
Ginetta announce a serious new superdupercar and 99% of the reaction is if people like how it looks or not.
No comments on the fact that the engine is developed in house? wondering who they have partnered with?
No comments on the 375kg of downforce @ 100mpg and what cars that is comparable to?
No comments on it being N/A?
No comments on it eschewing electronic power steering?
No comments on the claim that you will be able to steer it on the throttle without electronic aids?
You're not car fans. You're a bunch of tarts.

I get what you're saying but don't agree. Imagine a new supergroup. The best musicians, superbly recorded, engineered in a state of the art Stockholm recording studio, the cover art by Hockney and two years in the making with everyone involved stating it's their magnum-opus, their best work.Some musicians even invent new instruments to get the perfect sound. But, every track has vocals by Yoko Ono and she is screaming the names of different biscuits over and over in her signature high-pitched, dogs-are-terrified, style.

Would everyone, critics and the public, comment on anything else but Yoko's vocal performance?
Would the quality of Stuart Copeland's drumming be singled out for praise or the album be hailed a masterpiece because of Max Richter's keyboard prowess? No. It would go down in history as the shouty biscuit album, an unlistenable mess of teatime-treat wailing. That's this car. It could be F40 iconic to drive but it will always, always be the supercar that looks, well, ugly. Plain and simple. Designed in the dark by a group of blokes gluing cardboard and plywood onto a Ginetta G50.
