Meeting Topic
A heritage of forty-three years in sports car development and racing
culminates in this driving enthusiast's dream. The Ginetta G20 is some of
the fastest looking British steel ever to land on America's shores.
Attractive, affordable and exciting to drive, this traditional British
sports car is now available in the U.S. from Moto America Inc
The new Ginetta G20 has an estimated 0-60mph of 6.2 seconds. With a curb
weight of only 1350 pounds the G20 dances through curves and rockets down
the straightaway. The lines of the G20 flow over a Mazda Miata
powertrain, providing a very reliable engine and also enabling G20's to
meet emissions in most states. The GRP outer body (available in 5 paint
finishes or with optional metallics) is fitted to a spaceframe chassis
which incorporates an alloy floor pan.
Ginetta Cars Limited was founded in 1958 by the four Walklett brothers,
the business being an extension of their passion for motor racing and as
a result cars produced by Ginetta were predominantly race or road/race.
There followed a variety of models of varying specification with
competition on the track never far from the company's prime objective.
Frank Boulton, who has been in the automobile business for over 40 years,
founded Moto America Inc. in 1980. It specializes in importing British
sport and racing cars to the United States, and has been appointed as the
U.S. importer of Ginetta Cars' product range.
