About the Ginetta G40R
The Ginetta G40R is the road-going derivative of the G40 race car, designed to offer a raw, unassisted driving experience. It retains the FIA-approved integral roll cage and race-tuned suspension of its track sibling but adds creature comforts like air conditioning and carpets. Powered by a 2.0-litre Ford Duratec engine, its low mass ensures exceptional agility and steering feedback. Production was highly limited, with approximately 100 units built, making it a rare sight and a dedicated tool for B-road enthusiasts.

Rarity is a collectible game mechanic, not an assessment of real-world scarcity or value.
Ginetta G40R fun facts
- The G40R features a 'mid-front' engine layout, where the entire engine block sits behind the front axle line for near-perfect weight distribution.
- Despite its tiny dimensions, the G40R was designed to fit two sets of golf clubs in the boot, a specific design requirement from Ginetta chairman Lawrence Tomlinson.
- The car uses a bespoke six-speed manual gearbox developed by Ginetta specifically for this application rather than a standard Ford unit.
