Rumours a few months ago were that Farboud were in demise and that the GTS would be another still-born dream. Farboud have scotched the rumours though by presenting two GTSs at the Autosport Show.
The silver car pictured is the first customer car and will be shipped off to its lucky owner in Monaco very shortly.
The GTS uses a twin turbocharged Audi V6 to generate its grunt, with options - if you're willing to pay for them - of up to 580bhp. The standard car comes with about 400bhp. The carbon fibre and kevlar body sits atop a chassis comprising an aluminium tub with a tubular steel shell around the passenger compartment.
We were told at the show that the price starts at just £70K for the basic model. If all cars come with the build quality seen in the show cars then Farboud will have no problem justifying that price tag and could soon have a very healthy order book. The balls out 580bhp model will retail for £150,000.
