Hello.

Just got wind of some interesting information about Ginetta, it is always good to hear about a UK success story.

Britain is rife with cottage-industry sportscar-makers, but two are joining forces as racing manufacturer Ginetta and Fabrio has reportedly acquired the Fabrio supercar.

The Farbio GTS was the brainchild of one Arash Farboud, who has since left this venture to build his own Arash AF10. Farbio was left
to operate independently, launching various versions of the GTS over
the past couple years of operation. The company’s acquisition gives
Ginetta – known principally for its racing cars – a ready-made supercar
offering to add to its portfolio, as well as a second factory with an
in-house carbon fiber manufacturing facility. The unit will continue to
operate more or less independently, however, with current Farbio chief
Chris Marsh (previously with Marcos, another British sportscar-maker)
remaining at the helm.

The Farbio GTS will be re-branded as a Ginetta product (the top-spec
Farbio GTS400 renamed the Ginetta F400, for example), and pricing is
expected to remain the same for the time being.

Ginetta, however, feels
that the chassis could accommodate more power, and while Farbio’s
marketing strategy placed emphasis on Japan and the Middle East,
Ginetta hopes to increase its market share domestically in the UK.

Plans are also reportedly afoot to bring the supercar to the North
American market, with a homologation team en route Stateside to begin
the certification process.

I hope this has been of interest to you.
