Farbio - silly name, interesting car
Bath-based sportscar maker Farbio has announced that their GTS model is now in production. Based on a space frame chassis and cloaked in a carbon fibre body, the normally aspirated 3-litre V6 GTS will set you back £59,925, while the supercharged version costs £71,675.
The basic GTS will sprint from 0-60 in around 4.8 seconds, while the supercharger helps the forced-induction shaves around a second from that time, despite adding 18 kilos to the standard cars 1048kg kerbweight.
Standard kit includes AP brakes and adjustable Eibach coil overs to keep things on the straight and narrow, while on the inside, the Farbio isn’t a stripped-out track attacker: customers get Sparco reclining seats, which reportedly allow for a 6’6” driver; a touch-screen sat nav and air conditioning as standard. They even reckon that the boot will swallow a full set of golf clubs.
Farbio currently has an 8 month waiting list for UK customers, and claims to have an £11million order book with customers from the UK, USA, Scandinavia and Thailand, which should keep them occupied for the next three years.
