2025 Ginetta Akula

British sports car manufacturer Ginetta has introduced the production version of its 600bhp V8-powered 2025 Ginetta Akula. This high-performance road-going supercar, priced from £275,000 (excluding taxes and shipping), is based on the concept originally revealed in 2019. The Akula is the first of its kind in Ginetta’s 66-year history and will be limited to only 20 models, marking the 20th anniversary of Dr. Lawrence Tomlinson’s acquisition of the company. Tomlinson, a Le Mans GT2 class winner, has been actively involved in the development and testing of the Akula.

• It marks the 20th anniversary of Dr. Lawrence Tomlinson’s acquisition of Ginetta and is the first road-going supercar in the company's 66-year history.
• The Akula features motorsport-derived aerodynamics, including a carbon monocoque chassis, front splitter, rear wing, and diffuser to improve downforce and handling.
• Powered by a 6.4-liter naturally aspirated V8 engine, the Akula achieves 600bhp at 7,200rpm and 670Nm of torque, reaching 62mph in 2.9 seconds with a top speed over 180mph.
• The supercar offers both a six-speed manual and seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, paired with a limited-slip differential for optimal rear-wheel traction.
• Carbon ceramic brakes and other track-focused features are available in the optional Race Pack, enhancing braking performance and reducing weight for hot-weather track conditions.

Motorsport Engineering and Aerodynamics

Drawing from Ginetta's elite motorsport program, the 2025 Ginetta Akula is designed with advanced racing technologies. Its low-slung, aggressive design showcases the use of a carbon monocoque chassis with carbon subframes, paired with a steel roll cage for added rigidity. The Akula's aerodynamic features, inspired by Ginetta’s LMP1 race car, include a flat carbon fiber floor, front splitter, rear wing, and diffuser. These components work together to reduce air turbulence and generate substantial downforce, enabling high-speed cornering stability.
