Ginetta GT2 Revealed: Track-Ready British Supercar Targets SRO GT2 Series

Ginetta is on a serious roll right now. With its Junior series booming, thanks in no small part to alumni like Lando Norris, and growing participation in the U.S. racing scene, the British brand is hitting new highs. The cherry on top? A historic victory at Le Mans last month, clinching the Pro-Am win in LMP3 Race Two—a first for the marque at La Sarthe.

With momentum like this, there’s no better time to debut a new race car. Enter the Ginetta GT2, a purpose-built machine set to shake up the SRO GT2 racing scene.

A New Challenger Built for GT2 Glory

No road-car conversion here—the Ginetta GT2 is a ground-up race car engineered specifically to meet SRO GT2 regulations. That means it’s ready to compete head-on in events like the GT2 European Series Powered by Pirelli, where it’ll battle rivals like the Mercedes-AMG GT2, Maserati MC20 GT2, KTM X-Bow GT-XR, and the GT2 versions of the Audi R8, Porsche 911, and Lamborghini Huracán.

Currently a niche category, GT2 racing is gearing up for expansion by 2026, with broader eligibility and a promise of larger grids. But even today, the new Ginetta isn’t short on racing opportunities—it’s also eligible for the NLS Nürburgring series and the GT America championship, giving it a truly international playground.

Big Power, Small Package: Supercharged V8 Delivers the Goods

Beneath the sleek, compact bodywork lies a beast of an engine: a 6.3-liter dry-sumped supercharged V8, built around a billet aluminum block machined in-house by Ginetta. Before Balance of Performance (BoP) restrictions come into play, the GT2 pushes out a jaw-dropping 800 horsepower, with a race-ready weight of just 1,250 kilograms. That’s serious firepower for a car that looks not much bigger than a lunchbox.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a robust XTrac transaxle, while handling is sharpened by Ohlins TTX40 dampers and Alcon braking components. And while mid-engined competitors may have an edge in the corners, Ginetta’s straight-line speed—and the soundtrack from that V8—is sure to leave a lasting impression.

A Full Ladder to the Top of GT Racing

The introduction of the GT2 car completes Ginetta’s motorsport ladder, offering drivers a seamless path from grassroots to pro-level GT competition. Starting with Ginetta Junior, moving through the GT Academy, GTP8, and GT4, and now topping out with GT2, the brand provides a clear and continuous development route for racers at every level.

According to Ginetta, the GT2 is designed to accommodate a broad range of talent—from up-and-coming Silver-rated amateurs to elite Platinum-level professionals. And while official pricing hasn’t been released yet, expect the typical Ginetta value-for-money approach, making this a more accessible alternative to the likes of AMG or Lamborghini GT2 machinery.

A Statement From Ginetta’s Leadership

Mike Simpson, Chief Executive of Ginetta Motorsport, couldn’t be prouder of the brand’s latest creation:

“The Ginetta GT2 is the most exciting entry into high-level GT racing available today. We are hugely proud of the new car, both in terms of what it offers drivers and what it represents for the brand.

“Today’s announcement allows our drivers to compete under globally recognized SRO GT2 regulations with direct access to a thriving international race calendar. The GT2 car puts Ginetta squarely on the global GT stage, showcasing our engineering prowess and driver-first philosophy. I can’t wait to see it on the grid.”

Final Thoughts: Ginetta Goes Global

With the launch of the Ginetta GT2, the Yorkshire-based brand is planting its flag firmly in the upper echelon of GT racing. Combining raw power, race-ready engineering, and broad accessibility, this car isn’t just a new chapter for Ginetta—it’s a full-throttle leap into the global spotlight.
