A road version of the car was planned, but did not enter wide-scale production; instead, the smaller Ginetta G40 was launched.

[6] With its own Ginetta GT Supercup one-make series, the G50 has also been undefeated GT4 class championship winner record holder in the British GT Championship (5), and won the GT4 European Cup in 2009, beating Aston Martin, BMW and Porsche.

It features the same base set-up as the race car, with a proposed development of a V8 model with 520 brake horsepower (390 kW).

The car was fitted with a rear-mounted 90 kW (122 PS; 121 hp) electric motor, with the regular petrol engine being removed.

The engine was coupled to a 6-speed Hewland sequential manual gearbox operated by paddles on the steering column which resulted in faster gear changes than the GT4.
