Historic Note
The Ginetta G4R is an extreme, competition-oriented version of the renowned Ginetta G4, developed by the four Walklett brothers (who founded the company in 1957/1958) to challenge more established rivals on the racetrack.
Origins and Development
• The birth of the G4: Launched in 1961, the standard G4 was a lightweight car featuring a tubular chassis and a fiberglass body, designed for both road and track use.
• Evolution into the "R" variant: Given the significant success achieved by customers in racing, the factory decided to create an official "works" racing version, designated the G4R.
• The debut: The first G4R, equipped with a Lotus Twin Cam engine, made a surprise debut at Mallory Park in July 1964 with driver Meek at the wheel, securing an immediate victory. It was officially made available in September 1964.
• Period production: Approximately 10–12 units were built during that time.
