Swamp Stalker Protocol
Swamp Stalker Protocol takes the featherweight, glassfibre Ginetta G4 R and drags it into the bayou on purpose—without turning it into an airboat cosplay. The silhouette stays unmistakably G4, but everything around the wheels is rewritten: big elliptical front arches with a hard chamfered lip, trapezoidal rear endurance flares, and integrated splash guards that act like physical “fenders within fenders” to keep mud from packing the body and jamming steering.
The stance is rally-safari tall (180mm front, 200mm rear) with real articulation and a wider track so it can skim ruts instead of falling into them. Waterproofing, high-mounted cooling, and a snorkel intake make the car comfortable in wet grass, shallow water, and the kind of muck that normally ends a session early—while beadlocks and KO2s turn the G4’s light weight into a traction advantage.

Technical Dossier
Platform
1964 Ginetta G4 R
The 1964 Ginetta G4 R platform captures the raw essence of classic British sports car engineering with a lightweight, minimalist chassis designed for agile handling and pure driver engagement. Its tubular steel frame and compact dimensions made it a favorite in club racing circles, offering nimble cornering and a balanced ride that champions simplicity over excess. Underneath its timeless bodywork, the G4 R’s architecture laid the groundwork for a spirited driving experience that remains highly respected in vintage motorsport communities worldwide.
Aero Package
Stepped rear diffuser (six planes) with twin vertical strakes per side for stability in spray-heavy airflow
Dual-element carbon rear wing on swan-neck pylons with adjustable flap for low-speed downforce tuning
Concave rear-deck shelf to reduce lift and keep water from pooling at speed
Directional hot-air extraction vents behind the cabin to pull heat without inviting water ingress
Chassis
This isn’t a paved circuit hero; it’s built for bayou-adjacent sprint stages—mud flats, wet grass, shallow crossings, and root-laced access roads where momentum is everything. The aero is tuned for low-speed stability in dirty air and spray, and the chassis is set up to float over ruts instead of digging in.
Wheels & Tires
fifteen52 15x8 beadlock wheels in matte black with gold anodized bead rings
BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 305/60R15 for wet grass, mud, and mixed riverbank surfaces
Increased track width: +150mm front, +170mm rear for soft-surface stability
Ride height set to 180mm front / 200mm rear to clear roots, logs, and ruts
Powertrain
Waterproofed front mid-engine inline-four package with sealed connectors and raised breathers
Snorkel-style intake on driver-side front fender (raised ~360mm) with water-shedding grate
High-mounted cooling strategy with ducted airflow from hood intakes to elevated cores
Exhaust and engine-bay heat management via louvered extraction to reduce humidity soak
Fabrication Notes
Chromoly high-travel suspension arms and reinforced pickup points to support 260mm wheel travel
Inner fender liners and debris channels shaped to prevent mud packing around tires and steering
Sealed electrics, waterproof bulkhead pass-throughs, and vented/raised drivetrain breathers
Skid protection and sacrificial leading edges on lips/guards for vegetation and log strikes

Wave 27
Swamp Beasts: Vol. 1
We’ve just finished cooking up a batch of swamp-crawling, mud-flinging beasts that make your average SUV look like a city stroller. Our builds take forgotten and unlikely candidates — from the humble Chevy Celebrity to the nimble Ginetta G4 R — and shove them face-first into the murkiest, muddiest, most godforsaken wetlands you can imagine.
