FactWhen the bigger G50 road car got cancelled, Ginetta just put plates on the race car instead, rollcage included.
In 2010 Ginetta cancelled plans for a road version of the bigger G50 and instead built a road-going variant of the G40 race car, the G40R, with the 1.8-litre Zetec replaced by a modified 2.0-litre Mazda MZR engine of 175 hp (130 kW; 177 PS) at 7,000 rpm and the 6-speed manual gearbox shared with the Mazda MX-5, keeping the full race-spec rollcage. Ginetta claimed 0 to 97 km/h in 5.8 seconds, a top speed of 225 km/h (140 mph), 29 mpg and 181 g/km CO2 at a weight of 795 kg (1,753 lb); prices started at £29,950 and Ginetta planned 100 sales a year. Autocar rated it 4 of 5, What Car? 3 of 5, the Telegraph 4 of 5 and Auto Express 3 of 5, criticising an unfinished cabin, refinement and equipment. Wheelbase 2,250 mm (88.6 in), length 3,748 mm (147.6 in), width 1,642 mm (64.6 in), height 1,045 mm (41.1 in). The G40 race versions (G40 Challenge, G40 Junior) are not entered.

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.

Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
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.
