Lawrence Tomlinson has revealed another part of the plan to monetise his investment in Juno’s forthcoming Ginetta Juno LMP3 car by confirming his intentions to build a Ginetta-Juno LMP Track Car based on the LMP3 monocoque, designed to “bridge the gap between existing sports car and GT racing and top level sports prototypes”.
The Ginetta-Juno LMP Track Car is designed to provide an interim race car for those graduating into sports prototypes from the various Ginetta formulae, as well as giving track day enthusiasts a high-specification track car they can use for competition.
The Ginetta-Juno LMP Track Car is eligible for competition in the Malaysian Super Series, Open Sports Car Series, Dutch SuperCar Challenge and Britcar Endurance Championship.
Ginetta Chairman Lawrence Tomlinson said:
“The Ginetta Juno track car will give the full LMP3 driving experience and incorporate all the safety requirements demanded by the ACO and FIA. It will be an unbelievably fast and exciting car to drive, combining latest aerodynamic developments with different power options from 400 – 570 BHP. The highest powered will have comparable power to a full LMP2 car!”
Powered by a Nissan V8 engine capable of 500bhp, the Ginetta-Juno LMP Track Car will house a Xtrac 6-speed sequential gearbox with paddleshift, as well as FIA approved high capacity fuel system and offer extras such as traction control and air conditioning.
The Ginetta-Juno LMP Track Car will look and feel every inch the Le Mans Prototype and shares 75% of the hardware derived and optimised for the Ginetta-Juno LMP3. The monocoque design is able to accommodate two adults in the cockpit.
The initial batch of 15 cars will be sold at £99,000+vat.
Cars are already pre-sold to customers in the UK, Germany and Taiwan, each of whom will be invited to join pre-production testing starting in January, as well as five exclusive track days throughout 2015.
