It won’t be seen until its grand unveiling at Autosport International in January but today, Lawrence Tomlinson, Ginetta Chairman gives motorsport lovers everywhere a glimpse behind the production line, to see how progress is going on the eagerly awaited Ginetta G40.

Pictured here at Ginetta’s Leeds factory, Tomlinson, sat in the first Ginetta G40 prototype, commented: “Production is well under way - as you can see the roll cage is incredibly substantial, well in excess of the minimum requirements set by the FIA. Production of the bodywork is going really well and images of the pattern give a good indication of how the final car is going to look.”

Ginetta has been overwhelmed by demand for their latest launch, having secured an impressive 26 orders. The G40, which is set to be the UK’s first real road and race car, will make its competitive debut next April on grids at Ginetta’s famed Junior Championship. The 1.8 litre Ford Zetec engined-car will replace the existing Junior model, with the likes of defending champion Sarah Moore taking to the track in the all-new vehicle.

Tomlinson, who raced with Nigel Mansell at this year’s Le Mans Series finale at Silverstone added: “Everyone is going to have to wait until January 14^th for the first look at the Ginetta G40 when we unveil it at Autosport International – I can’t wait!”
