The Ginetta Akula is a British hypercar created to celebrate Dr. Lawrence Tomlinson’s 20 years of managing the brand.
Initially unveiled as a concept in 2019, the Akula has now entered limited production, with only 20 units planned, each priced at $360,100, plus taxes.
The Akula’s design is heavily influenced by aerodynamics, featuring elements such as a front splitter, rear diffuser, and other solutions inspired by the Ginetta G61-LT-P1 LMP1 race car, all aimed at maximizing downforce.
Built with a carbon fiber monocoque and equipped with a double wishbone pushrod suspension and electronic dampers, the Akula weighs just 1,190 kg. It is powered by a 6.4-liter naturally aspirated V8 engine, developed in-house, delivering 600 hp and 670 Nm of torque.
Power is transmitted to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual or seven-speed automatic gearbox, enabling acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.9 seconds. An optional carbon ceramic brake package enhances braking performance even further.
The development of the Akula involved an extensive testing program to ensure an exceptional driving experience. Its limited production and meticulous attention to detail make the Akula a true automotive masterpiece.
