In terms of performance, the rear-wheel drive car can produce power of 600 hp and can reach a top speed of 322 kph. The engine is combined with a six-speed gearbox transmission with paddle shifters. In addition, this car also has a limited torque slip differential and a ceramic carbon matrix brake that produces 1.2G deceleration.

"The concept behind the making of this Ginetta Akula is something truly individual, something that other brands cannot do because of limitations," said Gianeta's chairman Lawrence Tomlinson. "It designed to cut air like a shark splitting the water."
