FactIts front suspension is literally a Ford Escort's rear suspension, bolted in backwards — turned 180 degrees to do a job it was never designed for.
The Ginetta G32 is a compact (3.76 m by 1.65 m) two-seater mid-engined coupé and convertible designed by Ivor Walklett and built in Scunthorpe in 1989-1992, 115 in all, with a square-tube spaceframe and fibreglass body and many Ford parts (the Fiesta's interior and doors with lower window frames; the front suspension is the rear suspension of the contemporary Escort turned through 180 degrees). The 1.6i has a 1,597 cc Ford four with 110 PS (108 hp) at 6,000 rpm and 104 lb-ft (141 N·m), with a 105 PS (104 hp) catalyzed version (Ginetta's first catalytic-converter car); the 1.9i has a 1,905 cc derivative with 135 PS (133 hp) and 107 lb-ft (145 N·m); both use the Escort's 5-speed manual, and a 1.6 turbo was tested but not produced. Wheelbase 2,210 mm (87.0 in), length 3,760 mm (148.0 in), width 1,651 mm (65.0 in), height 1,168 mm (46.0 in), kerb weight 753 kg (1,660 lb).

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

The Celica XX, Japan's name for the A60 Supra, introduced the world's first in-car navigation computer.
The CTR Anniversary looks like a 911 but Ruf built its carbon monocoque from scratch, no Porsche body underneath.
The 228's coupe styling hides a sedan underneath: Maserati stretched it onto the longer four-door Biturbo chassis to make room for its biggest V6, which is literally where the name comes from — 2-door, 2.8 litre.
Switching to fuel injection let this V8 finally shed its trademark bonnet bulge — and only 405 of these flat-hooded Series 5 cars were built before the whole model retired in 1989.
Japanese buyers got a secret weapon in their MX-6 — the JDM-only KL-ZE V6 made about 40 more horsepower than the engine sold in the exact same car in North America.
An American tuner, Callaway Cars, built twin-turbo conversions of the GTV6 that boosted its V6 by fifty percent to 230 hp — turning Alfa's grand tourer into something far quicker than the factory ever intended.
