Why?
- The existing specification engines are now very difficult to obtain. In order to maintain the production of cars for the race series in the UK, Ginetta now have a large stock of new specification zetec engines.
- The new specification engine, coupled with throttle bodies, offers more low range torque than the existing setup.
- The increased engine power requires a more efficient cooling system (radiator).
- The position of the radiator offers increased safety for frontal impact.
- New MSA regulations dictate that a catalytic converter must be fitted to all race cars.
- Car specification will then be fixed for a minimum of 3 years (subject to any regulation changes imposed by motorsport governing bodies (e.g. the MSA / FIA).
Optional Upgrade available:
ATL fuel tank - ATL bag-type specification tank
- Retro-fit fuel tank mounting kit
Price - £695 +VAT
The subsidised price, above, is offered at this reduced rate to competitors until the first race of the 2008 season. Prices after this period will be confirmed at a later date.

Why? - The ATL fuel tanks conform to the latest FIA specifications.
