Production

Every figure says what it counts.

No production figures recorded yet.

History

Ginetta bought the Farbio company in March 2010. The Farbio GTS, sold as the F400 by Ginetta, was in production when the company halted the run to overhaul the car. The G60 was revealed in October 2011, and customer deliveries were expected from February 2012.
