Five years after debuting at the Geneva Motor Show, the Ginetta Akula is ready for orders. An all-carbon coupe with 600 hp, only 20 units will be made.

In 1958, the four Walklett brothers founded Ginetta as a race car maker with the same focus on light weight and super-sharp performance as better-known companies like Ace, Caterham and Lotus. Today, the company makes race and road cars, organizes one-make series' like the Ginetta Challenge run here in the U.S., and sells the GT6 Evo for FIA GT racing around the world.

That's likely achieved with the seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, owners who want to ultimate engagement will select the six-speed manual.� Instead of the show car's 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels, the retail Akula sits no 20-inch aluminum wheels. The P Zero rubber comes sized 265/35 in front, 305/35 in back. Behind the center-lock wheels, the standard ABS-equipped brake package gets four-piston calipers clamping 14.2-inch rotors at the four corners.
