First details on the Ginetta G55 sports car

Earlier this year Ginetta unveiled the G40 sports car, and today the company unveiled the first details on the new G55 sports car that will also be used for the 2011 GT season.

The new Ginetta G55 is powered by a 3.7 liter Ford engine that delivers an impressive 370 HP. Next to this impressive engine, the G55 also gets a Hewland gearbox, cool air induction kit, up-rated front and rear brakes, new exhaust system and stunning new bodywork with improved aerodynamics. Next to the G55, Ginetta is also offering a G50 version powered by a 3.5 liter Ford engine that only develops 300 HP.

"The G50 has dominated GT4 since its launch 2 years ago and proved itself as a real stepping stone into the GT4 arena. By introducing the G55 into the new Ginetta GT Supercup, I want to broaden Ginetta’s offering to all drivers expanding our career ladder even further and highlight a real route into GT3 - whilst still providing an affordable way to enjoy top level racing."
