RE: First Pics: Arash AF-10 supercar
Discussion
He appears to have gone backwards in development.
This was the AF-10 concept he showed at the 2006 Motor Show:
So in 3 years he's done from a full size clay model to a CGI rendering....
Good job.
Plus it's still an Enzo rip-off.
BUT...
I wish him good luck, as he's just a British petrolhead with far too much money and a few dreams of the car he wants to build...

It will be 2078 before this is released, by that time Arash (or whoever the owner is) will be a cyborg and the price would have 'crept' up to £1trillion + 67.5% VAT 
This car is like an automotive equivalent of the boy cried wolf...
In the unlikely event that this is true, at least it would mean one good thing.......This car is like an automotive equivalent of the boy cried wolf...
.......the british pound has survived!!
I agree dreamer and lawsuit central.

....next supercar please!
Why does everyone give Arash such a hard time? What's wrong with someone pursuing their dreams of building a sportscar no matter what road that takes. Lee Noble has done it, Trevor Wilkinson did it, Koenigsegg did it, Pagani did it so why is Arash not allowed to? It's not like it's an easy thing to do so he should be encouraged not derided. Shame on you.
That may be a CGI image but I can attest the car is nearly ready....
Here are some genuine first pics. Early build but it's progressed a lot from here. Trust me, it's some piece of engineering!

In fairness, I think we would all love to see a British manufacturer do well.That may be a CGI image but I can attest the car is nearly ready....

But Arash does himself no favours. Putting out dodgy CGI of an Enzo look-alike, with the odd plastic mock up for the past few years, with no evidence of a real, working car, is'nt really good enough.
If there is a real, working car with some engineering integrity behind, then that is great news ! But that is the point, all we have seen is yet another dodgy CGI Enzo and, yet again, no evidence of a properly thought through car behind it.
If I was a potential buyer, my main concern would be about the engineering integrity. Who is the primary engineer, who'se the chassis man? Where's the beef?
Get the product and engineering standards in place with a great team first, then tell the market. I worry that Arash is large on promise and weak on delivery. But if a decent car turns up to the market, I will be first to welcome it.
It's easy - and very British - to mock.
I've met Arash on a few occasions and he's a thoroughly nice chap and a passionate petrolhead. I spent quite some time looking at the Farboud GTS before it became the Farbio. It was no lash up, far from it.
I wish him well. Sure, it's a tough one to make reality but I hope he can see it through.

it would be great to see another british sports car manufacturer but the Arash/Farboud has been around too long and as others have said he is only stealing other designs and not using his own (however bad it might be). I remember one he made earlier which was an almost exact copy of a Porsche GT1. Also why did he sell the last company then have to pump more money into starting up another one? I think there was a road test of the previous car which was quite positive when he still owned the compnay so why not see that through and then go on to produce your £320,000 car?

Here here. And I am a big fan of the ( now) Farbio. Incidentally, has PH tested the Farbio? I would love to read a test of it.I've met Arash on a few occasions and he's a thoroughly nice chap and a passionate petrolhead.

I worry that the Farbio only came to reality after it was taken over by someone else with the practical engineering nouse to see it to fruition.
I had some contact with Arash via email a while back and he seemed a nice bloke. To me the cgi renders look good. It's a bit enzo like but the front's different (and better). Judging by the fact, in the pics above, he seems to have progressed quite a way with building it I don't think this is the usual 'british super car pipe dream'.
Admittedly I'll skeptical he'll sell many at that price but I doubt he needs to.
