Farbio GTS

[System]

[HeilSvenska]

Pretty car. It's supposed to be pretty good too. Except when the ownership changed, they couldn't keep the Farboud name. So it's called Farbio now. Which sounds like a gay hair stylist from Beverly Hills or something. But it'd be unfair to just judge it by its name. It's got a Ford V6, also in a form with Cosworth bits that makes nearly 400hp. It's very pretty too.

It'd say it's cool. It can't be subzero, first because it doesn't have any history or heritage whatsoever, and that no one's ever heard of it.

Looks like the birthchild of a Koenigsegg and Carrera GT.
..Not bad DNA if you ask me.

^^ I don't know much about the car.. Gave it a 'cool' based on appearance alone.

The name change bumps it from SZ for me.

Any backstory why they didn't sell the name within?

The company used to be called Farboud, Farboud because the founder's last name was Farboud. The GTS was supposed to be his first serious car, except he got tired of it. So he set up a whole new operation called Arash cars, with Arash being his first name. I guess the name Farboud wasn't going anywhere, and they got a new name for the new company, but Farbio sounds so cheap...



*oh, and I think I made a mistake earlier. I think the ownership remains the same, but Arash Farboud doesn't oversee Farbio directly any more.

It's not subzero, but it is definitely cool.
