Vehicle Overview
The Ghia G230 S Spider is a one-off concept car that was designed and built by the renowned Italian coachbuilder Ghia in Turin. This unique vehicle is based on the Plymouth Barracuda platform, much like its coupé counterpart, of which only two units were produced. Designed by Sergio Sartorelli, the Ghia G230 S Spider stands out as an exceptional example of automotive innovation and design, blending American muscle car engineering with Italian elegance. The G230 S Spider is powered by a robust 6-liter engine, providing it with impressive performance capabilities. This engine choice aligns with the car’s bold and athletic appearance, offering exhilarating speed and power while maintaining a smooth driving experience. The car’s styling features sleek, aerodynamic lines that reflect Ghia’s signature approach to design, which often combined artistic beauty with technical precision. One of the most notable elements of the Ghia G230 S Spider is its ability to merge the best of two automotive worlds. While the Plymouth Barracuda was already an iconic American muscle car, Ghia’s expertise elevated the car’s design, giving it a more refined, sculpted look. The Spider’s clean lines, aggressive stance, and elegant details make it a standout in the history of custom-built vehicles. As a one-off concept, the G230 S Spider remains an incredibly rare and highly coveted collector’s item. Its exclusivity and timeless design have cemented its place as a remarkable piece of automotive history. Though it never made it to mass production, the Spider stands as a testament to Ghia’s ability to create bespoke vehicles that combined the power of American engineering with the sophistication and style of Italian craftsmanship. Today, the Ghia G230 S Spider remains a symbol of both automotive innovation and artistic design.
