Ginetta supercar makes debut at Geneva Motorshow and is named Akula
Named #Akula, the Russian word for ‘shark’, the #supercar also shares its name with nuclear-powered attack submarines
Ownership experience to include exclusive track experience in range of #Ginetta models including thunderous G58 prototype racer
940kg, 575bhp V8 G58 prototype will offer authentic race car experience for #Akula owners alongside selection of other machines from Ginetta’s back catalogue
Priced at GBP 340,000 OTR in UK
Limited to 20 units in first production year of 2020, with 60% already sold prior to unveiling
Akula unveiled at Geneva finished in ‘Typhoon Black’
Geneva, 5th March 2019 – Today the #Ginetta #supercar made its world debut at the Geneva International Motorshow where company Chairman Lawrence Tomlinson confirmed the name, pricing and further ownership details of its all-new #supercar.
The combination of aerodynamically optimised design and potent performance found in the new #supercar required a fitting name, and given the car’s formidable presence #Akula was chosen. Being the Russian word for ‘shark’ as well as a term for nuclear-powered attack submarines, the predatory character of both subjects lent themselves well to Ginetta’s creation. Finished in ‘Typhoon Black’, the #Akula captivated the crowd in Geneva with its menacing appearance.
Chairman Lawrence Tomlinson commented: “The concept behind the #Akula was to build something truly individual, something that other brands cannot do due to corporate constraints. Designed to cut through the air like a shark through water, the car unquestionably means business, and I’m proud to be manufacturing a car of such significance in the UK.”
A true limited-edition vehicle, the #Akula is priced at GBP 340,000 on the road. Production will be limited to just 20 units in 2020, with 60% of this allocation already sold before the car was publicly unveiled.
Paramount to Ginetta’s #supercar programme was customer inclusion, with the barriers often associated with #supercar ownership firmly removed. Aside from building a personal relationship with the engineers that built their car, #Akula owners will also be given a full introduction to the #Ginetta brand with a customer experience day culminating in track time in the G58 racer.
The G58 is the closest thing to strapping in to an endurance racer as non-professionals are likely to achieve. The G58 is powered by a 575bhp V8 power plant, weighs just 940 kilograms and showcases some of the race-derived technology utilised in the #Akula to whole new levels.
With a #Ginetta factory driver, full pit crew and a range of #Ginetta vehicles from G40 up to G58 at their disposal, this exclusive ownership experience will be an induction into the #Ginetta family for #Akula owners and the start of a #supercar ownership experience like no other.
Tomlinson commented: “We’re a small company but we pack a punch, and our customers should be the ones who truly benefit from that. We compete with other manufacturers on the race track, but with our #supercar we’re offering something different and aimed at those who want a true connection with the brand that built their car. Whether it be taking to the track in a G58 or making your bespoke specification choices with us at the factory, #Akula owners will be truly involved in all things #Ginetta.”
