The Ginetta G32 is a mid-engined sports car built by British car manufacturer Ginetta Cars from 1989 to 1992.[1]
The G32 is a two seater mid-engined coupé and convertible, designed by Ivor Walklett. It is a compact car 3.76 m long and 1.65 m wide. A total of 115 examples were produced. The car incorporated many Ford parts including much of the interior and doors from the Ford Fiesta (with different, lower window frames). The front suspension is actually the rear suspension from the contemporary Ford Escort, turned through 180 degrees.[2] The tie rods were used to set the toe angles of the rear wheels. The spaceframe chassis consists of square tubes, clad in a fibreglass bodyshell.[2]
The 1.6i is powered by a four-cylinder, 1597 cc Ford engine developing at 6000 rpm and of torque.[3] Ginetta also offered a catalyzed version of this engine, producing . This was Ginetta's first car with a catalytic converter.[2] The 1.9i model, powered by a 1905 cc derivative of the same Ford engine, develops and torque. Both versions are fitted with a 5-speed manual gearbox, borrowed from the Ford Escort as well.
A 1.6 turbo version was tested but was not put into production.[4]
