The G10 was a race car, powered by a Shelby Mustang 289 cu in (4.74 L) V8. The car was originally built as a Ginetta G4, however in 1965 the car would be fit with the much larger Shelby engine, to go racing in America, as such, the V8-powered G10 was built. The G10 was based on the already racing proven space frame of the G4, with a new Glass-reinforced plastic body fitted, with MGB doors and windshield. The engine would be fitted with that of the Ford small block, as it was used by the main rival of the G10, the Shelby Cobra, with the original prototype being fit with a standard model making 290 bhp (220 kW; 290 PS), and the later models being fit with a more powerful modified block making 350 bhp (260 kW; 350 PS)
