Farbio/Ginetta Website
Discussion
I'm intrigued. The website has removed the F400 link and twitter says:
Now we wait.

There's a new Ginetta on the way... http://t.co/Rqy540td
Possibly a car for the new WRC GT class? or maybe the FIA GT3? BTCC? road legal Zytek LMP? :PNow we wait.
G60
[quote]Ginetta has presented its new range-topping G60 sports car, a limited-productiom mid-engined creation that brings back the mid-engine layout to the company’s line-up after over 20 years.
The vehicle is based on the carbon fiber Farbio GTS, with Ginetta having acquired the company that builds this car back in March. However, it comes with extensive changes for the carbon foer tub, body and running gear.
This is a vehicle focused solely on performance, with the project loosing 400 kg compared to the Fabio GTS and now tipping the scales at 1,100 kg. The diet has sent away all the electronic goodies, including the ABS, as well as the power steering.
At the center of the car, we find a 3.7-liter naturally aspirated V6 engine borrowed from the Ford Mustang, which delivers 310 hp. Ginetta also offers a 410 hp supercharged GTS 400 version, which should play the o to 60 mph (96 mph) game in under four seconds and offer a top speed that exceeds 165 mph (265 km/h).
The engine sits on a new tubular steel subframe, separated from the carbon fiber tub, being mated to a six-speed Ford gearbox and sending its power to the rear wheels via a Quaife limited slid differential.
All this performance comes at a price - the Ginetta G60 can be yours for GBP68,000 (EUR78,980 or $104,490 at the current exchange rates).

Oh no! what have they done 
. I've been a big fan of everything LNT have brought to the Ginetta brand but those rear vents look hideous. The companies flagship model looks like it's had a make over at an 80's British Leyland design studio. That simply does not look like a 68K car.
Totally agree, but it's a considerably better attempt than this gazillion pound effort.. I've been a big fan of everything LNT have brought to the Ginetta brand but those rear vents look hideous.

Must confess the black hefty looking vents on the rear and on rear roof line not good imo.
But also the two tone red/black doesn't seem to work (and I like red/black normally as on my MINI JCW below)
and 'black' wheels seem not to work but distract again (only imo, of course).
And especially not when you look at the clean lines of the earlier Farbio
(EVO pic, sure they won't mind, if they do it'll disappear!) which 'looks' supercar to me.
Await to see G60 all in one colour or vents that aren't so obtrusive (perhaps it looks fine in the flesh?).
Only just realised the Farbio/G60, like the G40R, both have MINI door mirrors.
Gives an idea of G60 car size then against MINI.

It does look like they cut up one of the press cars.But also the two tone red/black doesn't seem to work (and I like red/black normally as on my MINI JCW below)
