Farbio North America named U.S. importer/dstributor of Farbio GTS sportscar
Farbio Sports Cars (nee Farboud) has finally confirmed U.S sales of the Farbio GTS sportscar with the announcement of their new U.S. dealer arm, Farbio North America, LLC. Farbio NA will be the exclusive importer and distributor of the Farbio range of vehicles in the United States, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean.
Farbio North America is owned by William Prior, the man most remembered for bumping Malcolm Bricklin out of the director’s chair at Yugo America. Here’s hoping the Farbio does a little bit better than that tiny Serbian punchline on wheels.
That shouldn’t be too hard, though, considering that the GTS is one heckuva sportscar, designed by Arash Farboud of Arash A10 fame. It follows a formula similar to the Noble M12/M400, with a featherweight chassis motivated by a range of 3.0-liter European Ford V6 engines. It weighs in at just 2,300 pounds, with horsepower pegged at 260 in naturally aspirated trim or a supercharged 410 hp.
Farbio Sports Cars and Farbio North America are already working on getting all of the necessary homologation and certification work done in order to sell the Farbio GTS on these shores. They’re hoping to wrap things up in about 15 months. Until then they are going to be working on lining up their dealer network as well.
