Must be the headlights, but this thing looks like an uglier and slightly distended 5/8 scale Mosler MT900S to me. I also can't comprehend why the company has felt the need to change the name of its car three times in as many years; founder Arash Farboud has a pretty badass-sounding name to me and should have just kept his surname on the car...

@Steel_ETC: A guy by the name of Chris Marsh owns the company,from what i've read he has an impressive motorsport background.

Can't understand the hate,a fast light car built by people that love cars. What's not to like.

I find my heart bleeding for 6'7" tall Czech wannabe supermodels.

@layabout: From there, I think you could plausibly take it on a few laps around Castle Combe and still have it back at the dealership within an hour!

@The Name's Ash78, Housewares: You say "dealership", do you mean "Man in empty room waiting for phone call"?

@Rust-MyEnemyNow4%MoreProductive: So your saying i won't need to dust off my suit (usually reserved for weddings,funerals & court appearances) to make a good impression for a test drive?

@Cognitive_Friction: Thank you for that. I was debating with myself between

I can't believe it's not better (looking).

and

410hp, 2,300 lbs. Yet, 0-60 still takes 3.7 seconds? I can't believe it's not better.

Instead, I went for a more obscure Fabio reference, and I stand by it.

It's about time they bought out an updated version, I don't know about you guys but my local roads are positively awash with Farbio GTSs. They're all lined up outside Starbucks and outside the private schools rubbing shoulders with oh so many Lister Storms and countless Spectre R42s.

No, what I've been waiting for is a Farbio which is like all the millions of other Farbios, but even more so. Just so I stand out from the crowd.

Really, Farbio should work on selling less cars. They're in real danger of market saturation.

Kind of lost interest when golf clubs got mentioned,something about supermodels & golf doesn't mix.
