Ginetta G40 live at Autosport International – Click above for high-res image gallery<\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

\nFollowing an earlier preview<\/a> several months ago, British racing car manufacturer Ginetta<\/a> finally took the wraps off its completed G40 sportscar at the ongoing Autosport International show in Birmingham, England.<\/p>\n

Designed from the get-go as a racer, the G40 will make its first track appearance in the Ginetta Junior race series in support of the upcoming British Touring Car Championship season. Its 850-kg chassis is said to be 50 times stronger than minimum FIA crash-test requirements, and is motivated by a 1.8-liter Ford<\/a> Zetec four-cylinder engine sourced from the European Focus<\/a> and tuned for competition duty. <\/p>\n

An initial batch of 26 units is currently underway, with prices starting at £24,950 (about $40k). Details in the press release after the jump and photos live from the show floor in the gallery below.<\/p>\n
