Ginetta Cars unveiled the G50, an all-new British sports car for 2008. The car has been designed in-house at LNT Automotive’s new purpose-built factory in Leeds. The G50 was a celebration of 50 years of British sports car manufacturing by the company, and has been designed as the base for a new generation of Ginetta sports cars. The G50 was designed to bridge the gap between single-make, sports car racing such as the Ginetta G20 championship – and GT cars such as the new GT4 Championship, GT3 and GT2 racing. The G50 was a rear-wheel drive model, powered by a front-mid mounted, Ford-made 3.5- litre, V6 engine with an output of 300 bhp, with a five-speed sequential gearbox.
