G50 - Stunning

[justinbaker]

All - I was lucky enough to see a G50 in the flesh at Silverstone Saturday's practice. Got up close to this machine, and thought how spectacular it looked.

I was reading an article just the day before about the G50, but didn't realise how lovely the lines were.

Top stuff indeed. So they do a road version? How much (not that I could afford one). Someone did suggest they copy Mr Mellings idea of a raffle. I would try £20 worth of luck!

They are still messing about with the road version, last time I looked they were at pre-production version 3 or something similar. I agree it is a lovely car but whether it will make it to actual road version I am not too sure as they are concentrating their effort on the race cars.

Though saying this Lawrence had the electric version of the G50 at Oulton Park a week ago and it seemed pretty good so maybe that is the route to market they will go with.

I am going to email them now and find out what is happening with road versions etc. I will let you know.

I want one, electric or petrol, I will volunteer as a long term test driver...say 10 years or so!

Make the road car.

Was it designed for worldwide distribution? IF not, fatal flaw and keep it in the race department.

Realistically, any car made anywhere should be engineered for a gloabl economy.

What about the bigger V6 or V8 G12?

Ginetta no longer own the rights to the G12.

I can understand it if they are cautious launching a new sports car in a recession where lending is tight.
