Friday, November 28th, 2008
The Farbio GTS 400 available in its 384 hp and revving it up by a couple of notches to super-charged 410hp car (love this!) thanks to its new engine structure. This allows the GTS 400 to race from naught to 100 km/hr in just 3.7 seconds and hit a top speed of 180 mph. The V6 engine under its hood along with luxurious interiors and brilliant aerodynamic design, make it one of the supercars in the market today. The Farbio GTS 400 is expected to have a price tag of £94,000 and while that is high-end, it still makes the GTS 400 one of the best buys in the market today. Little known Farbio seems to making big impact indeed.
