Description
The Ginetta G4 Coupé was a hardtop version of the Ginetta G4, introduced in the 1960s. It retained the same lightweight construction as the original G4, featuring a tubular steel chassis and a fiberglass body, but added a fixed roof for those who preferred a more enclosed driving experience. This made the Coupé more practical for road use while maintaining its sporty performance and handling.
The G4 Coupé was powered by the same range of Ford engines as the open-top G4, including options like the 1.0-liter and 1.6-liter units. These engines, combined with the car’s low weight, provided strong acceleration and excellent driving dynamics. The suspension setup, featuring independent front suspension and a live rear axle, was carried over from the original G4, ensuring that the Coupé was both responsive and fun to drive.
The car found success in both racing and on the road, with its sleek lines and competitive performance making it a popular choice among enthusiasts. Today, the G4 Coupé is considered a classic and remains highly sought after in the vintage sports car market.
