Ginetta developing British Ferrari rival

UK car-maker claims 'highly-sophisticated' new supercar will top out at more than 320 km/h

UK-based Ginetta is secretly developing an all-new supercar that it will unveil this March at the Geneva motor show.

Set to go head-to-head with brands like Ferrari, Aston Martin and McLaren, the Leeds-based firm will harness know how accrued from the its LMP1 Le Mans racing project to help develop the supercar, Brit mag

Autocar reports.

Like the McLaren 720S supercar (but not the Ferrari 488), Ginetta is said to be already working on a new ultra-lightweight carbon-fibre chassis to base its first-ever supercar around.

Featuring yet more widespread use of carbon-fibre reinforced plastics for the body, the new British supercar will sport an aerodynamic package that has been described as 'radical'.

Instead of undercutting its rivals, Ginetta is considering marketing its supercar in line with what McLaren and Aston Martin charge for its 'best-performing' models, meaning if it ever ventured Down Under it could weigh in at around the same $489,900 (before on-roads) McLaren charges for a 720S.
