another supercharged exotic car

Farbio Supercharged GTS

Does your car have to be branded with the most renowned name in the automotive industry. Perhaps, not all the time. Looks and performance are everything right? Concerning the appeal, nothing beats exotic cars! That is for my own opinion huh. These cars amaze me like I don’t wanna miss the chance to get behind those wheels. Whenever I see a new exotic car, I am itching to phone my dad and let him check it out himself. Consequently, I will run to him and try hard to do the sales talk for the nth time.

Today, I have discovered another great exotic car. And while my dad is not around, let me impress you with its specs.

Before my tongue loses its brake, can i ask if you have seen some exotic car trend of unusual names, having low volume and high performance? Have you heard about Koenigsegg, Gumpert or even Pagani? Well these names might not roll right off the tongue, but their namesake cars definitely have the right to fly down the road. Following their trend is the Farbio Supercharged GTS.

GTS came out through the vision of pharmaceutical CEO/journalist/car enthusiast Arash Farboud and the development of Chris Marsh with his team near Bristol, England. It may take few more years to catch up with demand, especially from the UK and U.S. They are responsible for a considerable chunk of the several hundred orders and deposits placed thus far!Taking a bit closer to the Farbio Supercharged GTS is really worth the wait. First, let us know why it is such a beautiful ride.

Smaller engines lacking cred against V8s, V10s and V12s, the Farbio Supercharged GTS does well with its mid-mounted 3.0-liter Ford Duratec V6 and Rotrex supercharger. Harmoniously coupled with a six-speed manual transmission, the engine is tuned to dust off with 384 horsepower at 6,700 rpm with 350 lb-ft of torque at 3,500 rpm. With this, you can dash from 0 to 60 mph in 3.9 seconds, and cross 175 mph in this 2,350-pound car.
Handling is just ok. And thanks to the adjustable suspension, with a good dose of feedback in the steering too. In spite of the power-assist, GTS reassure weight and precision.

How about the chassis? The carbon-fiber body draping of GTS’ tubular spaceframe chassis is not considerably different in appearance from the first prototype some from five years ago. “Voluptuous Lotus” can be an adequate description for it has substance, but is far from porky! Perhaps it has aged well though it can be an understatement.

GTS still looks fresher and firmer without desperately trying to be noticed . Indeed it is another supercar that should be watched out. If the reverse-tapered side ducts appear a little unusual at a first quick look, take another glance and notice the uniqueness that adds character to the otherwise nondescript flanks.Drawing closer into the GTS, the harmonic balance does not pander to gadgetry like some other aspirants, although some buyers associate doodads offer sticker price. The Sparco Milano leather seats provide just the right support and comfort., while providing great interior looks. You can disregard the rows of switches and gauges cluttering the works since the leather dash is offset with a carbon-fiber center console. This has a few aluminum accents, where control buttons are studded unto. HVAC, satellite navigation, sound system, and Bluetooth capability are all operated through the console’s touchscreen. Also, the front and center, the straightforward analog speedometer and tachometer are designed with blue backlighting right there. The tach takes it a step further, moving ahead in illumination from blue to purple to red as the revs build.

Farbio Supercharged GTS has all the right stuff to run with the pack. Wait and see.
