    New Ginetta road car and Nissan GT-R in Juke clothing ...

    British sports car manufacturer today announced a new addition to the company's road car line-up; the G60, which is set to replace the F400. Like its predecessor, the new G60 has its roots in the Farbio originally developed by Chris Marsh some years ago. Ginetta have made substantial changes that warrant the new type name. The key focus was to make the G60 as 'hard core' as possible and this was achieved by stripping almost all amenities from the car. Gone, for example, are the turbocharged engine, ABS brakes and traction control. These have been replaced by a naturally aspirated 310 bhp engine, unassisted brakes and an ATB limited slip differential. As a result the mid-engined machine tips the scales at only 1,080 kg, which allows it to accelerate to 60 mph (96 km/h) in under 5 seconds and should also improve its handling characteristics. Exclusivity is maintained by a strict production limit of just 50 examples per year. The G60 will make its world debut on October 14th at Silverstone during the Ginetta Championship Finals.
    A beast of a completely different order currently under development in England is the Nissan Juke-R. As the name might reveal, this is far from an ordinary Juke but one crossed with the hugely potent GT-R platform. This highly unusual 'chop job' is the work of reputed motorsports outfit RML with the help of Nissan. When the car is complete later in the year, the Juke-R will have all the goodies that make the GT-R such a giant slayer.

    Shame about being too showy.

    Tone it down and it could the ultimate Q-car.
    Lack of charisma can be fatal.
    Visca Catalunya!

    Not really.

    Porsche says F U back by making a Cayenne Turbo S.

    And probably charging 4x the amount of the Juke.
