2007 Farbio GTS review

Farbio GTS review:

The British carmaker Farbio made the announcement of starting the production of its GTS sports vehicle. With an all carbon fiber body and a space framed chassis, the GTS model weighs between 2300 and 2345 pounds, powered by a V6 3.0L. The price is between £60,000 and £75,000.

The Farbio GTS has a supercharged and naturally aspirated form. The NA GTS is producing 262 horsepower and with an acceleration from 0-60 in just 4.8 seconds. The supercharger has a plus of 122 horsepower and only 45 lbs, to the base GTS — in total 384 — and is improving the 0-60 acceleration to 3.9 seconds.

The GTS` interior has a navigation system, leather and Alcantara, plus Sparco seats providing enough space for a 6`6`` driver.

The normally aspirated Farbio GTS comprises of a bespoke induction and exhaust system and along with a specially mapped ECU, it can produce an impressive 262bhp. This combined with the lightweight full carbon fibre body shell delivers powerful acceleration. The Farbio GTS also incorporates a flat floor the full length of the car, joining the front splitter and rear diffuser, which provides exceptional downforce giving excellent handling qualities.

With the large fuel tank and lightweight carbon fibre body, touring is made simple and enjoyable.

The boot volume is large enough to fit a standard set of golf clubs, or several pieces of luggage. There is also extra luggage space on the parcel shelf, secured with bespoke luggage straps.

The Farbio GTS can accommodate a 6`6" driver, into our fully adjustable Sparco seats.
