Ginetta Akula 600bhp Supercar with a 6.4-Litre V8

Car enthusiasts looking for a road-going supercar with motorsport DNA will be thrilled by this latest release.

Akula's Racing-Inspired Design

Named after the Russian word for "shark," the Ginetta Akula is a sleek, two-seat coupé with an aggressive exterior design that draws heavily from Ginetta’s Le Mans racing experience. Aerodynamically refined, the Akula incorporates Le Mans-derived aero components for enhanced performance on both road and track. Despite its race car aesthetics, the Akula provides practicality with a 473-litre boot, outclassing even the Ford Puma in cargo space.

Lightweight Engineering for Optimal Performance

One of the standout features of the Akula is its lightweight construction. Weighing just 1190kg, the car’s agility is a result of its carbon fibre monocoque and subframe, which help reduce weight while maintaining structural rigidity. This lightweight design, paired with the powerful V8, ensures that the Akula delivers breathtaking acceleration.

Raw Power and Precision Handling

The Akula’s front-mid mounted 6.4-litre V8 generates 600bhp and 494lb-ft of torque, enabling the car to reach 0-62mph in just 2.9 seconds comparable to the Maserati MC20. Drivers can choose between a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission or a six-speed manual gearbox with a triple-plate clutch for a more hands-on driving experience.

Key to the Akula's precise handling is its 50:50 front-to-rear weight distribution, achieved through careful engine placement. Longer wishbones allow for an adjustable suspension setup, which Ginetta describes as offering "a pure and uncompromised handling experience." The Pirelli P Zero tyres provide excellent grip, further enhancing control and stability on the road.

Braking and Race-Ready Features

Stopping power comes from 360mm steel discs fitted at the front and rear, with the option to upgrade to carbon-ceramic brakes as part of Ginetta’s Race Pack. This package also includes four-pot calipers, six-point racing harnesses, and Ginetta racing decals. For enthusiasts who want to take their Akula to the track, a full race suit (minus the helmet) is an option.

Interior: A Driver-Focused Cabin

Inside, the Akula is just as performance-focused. The cabin has a carbon-fibre multifunction racing wheel and a custom Ginetta-developed infotainment system. A wireless charger is also included for added convenience.

Limited Production and Price

Ginetta plans to produce only 20 examples of the Akula, each with a starting price of £275,000, excluding local taxes. With its exclusive production run, the Akula joins Ginetta’s growing lineup of high-performance road cars, including the recently launched G56 GTR and the remastered 1960s G10.

The Ginetta Akula supercar blends raw power, advanced engineering, and racing-inspired design. With only 20 units available, the Akula represents a rare opportunity to own a road-legal car that channels motorsport engineering at its finest. Whether you're a collector or an enthusiast, the Akula promises an unparalleled driving experience.
