I supposed Arash (aka Arash Farboud, father of the Farbio GTS, etc.) could be another boutique supercar maker like Pagani, Koenigsegg, etc., but I doubt it. The key with the successful small manufacturers (I'd throw Spyker in there) is that they are very meticulous about the quality of their products.

I've seen a few Nobles, Vectors, Saleens, etc. that are reputed to be finished supercars, but they just don't measure up. This is why cars like the Enzo, Carrera GT, etc. hold value for long periods of time. When you have the QA a manufacturer can bring, it polishes the product immeasurably. The small shops generally don't have the time/money/personnel to get to that microscopic level of inspection and testing.

I'm all in favor of the small guys with big dreams giving it a go. Otherwise we wouldn't have Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini, et al.

 

Great idea...

Take a beautiful, well designed supercar from a famous brand and slap an unknown badge on it, change the aero (for the better? doubtful.) and sell to the nouveau riche.

NEVER seen that before

 

Arash AF10 LM (completely street legal):

 

I saw the AF10 LM at the Goodwood Festival of Speed and what a lash up job that car was. The doors were so badly designed that a small child I saw sitting in the car needed the help of an adult to drag him out because the opening was so small. Also the build quality would embarrass a garden shed kit car maker.

Arash is a rich kid (No problem with that) who has the means to indulge in his motoring fantasies. But don’t every expect him to create a real business out of it

 

Obviously a car like this that its more like an sport prototype than a road car. The door size is a question of the type of car in this case. The doors should be small, the monocoque don't let to put big doors. You didn't say that one of this is a poorly done car and it's the same (or similar) type of car:







This is, obviously, a track only car with permission for being on the public roads. Nobady cares about the door size. And bad quality? Come on! It's a track only car.

 

Is it a new car on AF10 chassis? Or is it just renamed, old 2005 Farboud GT?

 

No, it's renamed car. Farboud/Arash is the same thing now. But for me it looks to much like the 1998 911 GT1.

 

The old Farboud GTS car was sold to another guy who renamed it Farbio who then sold it to Ginetta who finished it off and released it as the G60

I absolutely disagree, for safety reasons you have to be able to exit your car in an accident within set time limits. The opening on the car would not allow an average sized person to get out, add the fact they are likely to be wearing a helmet just makes things worse. I have driven prototype and LM type cars so I know what I am talking about

 

I agree about the safety reasons and I know that it has a small doors, but I thought that it was normal on this type of car. I didn't see it in person, but I doubt that has an smaller opening than the 1998 911 GT1 Strassenversion.

You have really driven sport prototype cars? Amazing. What cars exactly?
