ARASH FARBOUD TO UNVEIL 550BHP CONCEPT

News reached us today that Arash Cars is to unveil a 550bhp concept at the British motor show next month.

 

The AF10 is the brainchild of founder Arash Farboud, (the man who launched Farboud cars) and looks to sell at some £170,000. Arash has now decided to manufacture cars under his own name after selling Farboud Cars on to Chris Marsh who used to run Marcos.

The carbon-fibre bodied sports car has a steel and carbon-fibre tub at its heart, and uses a 7.0-litre Corvette Z06 engine for motive power, mated to a six-speed Graziano transmission.

Low weight is highly likely, long with zero to 60mph acceleration figures of under four seconds. The shape of thw car will finally be determined by wind-tunnel testing, with the plan of hitting a Vmax of 200mph.

Arash Cars is based at Sawston, a few miles south-east of Cambridge.
