The G60 is a mid-engined sports car produced by British-based Ginetta Cars, based on the Ginetta F400, which itself was based on the Farbio GTS. It was manufactured in Garforth, Yorkshire, and only around 50 a year were produced from 2012 through 2015. The base price of a G60 in 2012 was £68,000, or 105,000 USD.
The G60 is powered by a Ford Cyclone V6 engine with a capacity of 3727cc, producing 310 bhp (231 kW; 314 PS) at 6500rpm and torque of 288 lb·ft (390 N·m) at 4500rpm. It can accelerate to 60 mph in 4.9 seconds, with a top speed of 165 mph (265.5 km/h).
The car does without ABS, power steering and other modern technologies. It is constructed with a carbon fibre skin on a tubular steel chassis to maintain a low weight of 1,080 kg (2,380 lb).
In autumn 2015, Ginetta ended production of the G60 citing poor sales and manufacturing that became increasingly cost prohibitive.
