British sports carmaker Farbio has officially announced the start of production for its new GTS supercar, which already has a long list of orders from customers in the U.K., U.S., Scandinavia and Thailand. The car is available in both naturally aspirated and supercharged versions and features a full carbon fiber body, space frame chassis and a flat underfloor with an integrated rear diffuser. The final kerb weight is just 1,066kg for the supercharged car and 1,048kg for the atmo model.


The mid-engine supercar develops 262hp in normally aspirated form and has a 0–60mph acceleration time 4.8 seconds. The Rotrex Supercharged version develops up to 384hp and has a claimed acceleration time for the 0-60mph dash of just 3.9 seconds.


Brakes are AP Racing with four-pot calipers with 350mm vented discs in the front and 328mm units up back. Suspension is fully adjustable dampers with Eibach coil-over springs and the base wheels measure in at 18in. Inside, there’s Sparco racing buckets and a touch-screen interface for the satnav, climate control and stereo system.

Money can't buy happiness, but somehow it's more comfortable to cry in a Porsche than a Kia.

After looking at it a bit more, you might as well just call it a hardtop Carrera GT.

Can either of these HP numbers really be considered "supercar" numbers anymore?? Hell my 2002 Mustang GT came from the factory with 260hp and didn't cost anywhere near what this thing will set you back. There are minivans now with 260 hp.

The acceleration numbers are nice, I'll give you that. But if *I* am paying the unreasonable sum that this thing will command, I want at least 500 hp!!! DAMMIT!!!!!
