Race Variant by smo] Monkeyy-3 (me). ------------------------------------------------------------ This model is a race variant of the Ginetta G40 Junior '13 by smo] Monkeyy-3. The following is a description of the original model. The Ginetta G40 is a specialist sports car, which has been built by Ginetta Cars since 2010. It is available in two versions; a road-going version, named the G40R, and the race version, the G40, which is available in two specifications; one of which is the G40 Challenge, the other is the G40 Junior, which were designed for the Ginetta GT5 Challenge and the Ginetta Junior Championship respectively. The G40 replaced the Ginetta G20 race car, and also replaced the road version of the Ginetta G50. In 2010, Ginetta decided to cancel plans to produce a road-going version of the bigger Ginetta G50, and instead built a road-going variant of the G40, named the G40R. The race car's 1.8 litre Zetec engine was replaced with a tuned 2-litre Mazda MZR engine, producing 175 hp (130 kW; 177 PS) at 7000rpm, and the 6-speed manual gearbox from a Mazda MX5; however, the road car also includes the full race-spec rollcage. This configuration gives a claimed 0-60 time of 5.8 seconds, whilst the car is capable of a claimed 140 mph (225 km/h), the performance figures aided by its low weight of 795 kg (1,753 lb). Ginetta claim a fuel economy figure of 29 mpg, and carbon dioxide emissions of 181g/km. Prices started at £29,950. Autocar gave the car a rating of 4 out of 5; praising the car's engine note and driving feel, but criticizing it for inconsistent steering weight and for an unfinished cabin. What Car? gave the car a rating of 3 out of 5, praising its performance and handling, but criticizing its lack of safety features, its poor refinement, and its lack of equipment. The Telegraph gave the car 4 out of 5 stars, praising its driving feel, but criticizing the body's finish. Auto Express gave the car 3 out of 5, praising its on-track behaviour, but stating that it wasn't really suited to everyday usage. Ginetta planned to sell 100 G40s annually. #Car #Custom #G40 #G40_Junior #Ginetta #Ginetta_G40 #Ginetta_G40_LM_Race_Car #JGTC #Junior #LM #LM_Race_Car #MK3 #Monkeyy3 #Project_CARS #Race_Car #Slightly_Mad_Studios #smo #SMS #Sports_car
