Being the first model produced since Ginetta took over Farbio Sports, the G60 benefited from the union with a heavily reworked version of the carbon fiber-tubbed Farbio GTS. According to the official press release, Ginetta stated that the G60's tub is now stiffer and easier to manufacture. Other additions to the Ginetta were a realigned driver position, stripped out weight, and new body panels. The Ginetta G60 was powered by a Ford Mustang->ke428 3.7-liter, V6 engine that delivered a total of 310 HP. The car could travel from 0 to 60 mph in just 4 seconds and had a top speed of 165 mph. The G60 was limited to only 50 units and was priced at £68,000 or about $105,000.

Pros
Cons

Exterior and Interior

The new Ginetta G60 sports car features a simple, driver-focused design language, with unassisted steering, no anti-lock brakes, no electronic driving aids, and servo-less brakes. This helps to reduce the car's total weight to only 2425 lbs, about 881 lbs lighter than the Farbio GTS.

Engine

The new Ginetta G60 is powered by a naturally aspirated Ford Mustang 3.7 liter V6 engine with an output of 310 HP. The engine is mated to a six-speed Ford gearbox and sends its power to the rear wheels via a Quaife limited slip differential. This setup is enough to sprint the car from 0 to 60 mph in less than 4 seconds and up to a top speed of 165 mph.

Prices

The Ginetta G60 will be limited to only 50 units, each priced at £68,000 or about $105,000 at the current exchange rates.

Competition

With 310 HP and a top speed of 165 mph, the Ginetta G60 seems to be the perfect competitor for models like the Porsche Cayman S. The Cayman S is powered by a 3.4 liter six-cylinder engine that delivers a total of 320 HP. It sprints from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.8 seconds, while top speed goes up to 171 mph.

The big catalyst for Porsche sales as opposed to Ginetta sales is the price. The G60 starts off at $105,000, but anyone can get a Cayman S starting at $62,100.
