<---- linky

not a kit, but not most flattering photo* here, looked better in white in yesterday's newspaper.



* not sure if they are photos, look like they could be computer generated, see the paper for actual car.

I'd buy that for a dollar!

No actual photgraphs in the newspaper or the manufacturer's website. Should that be 'manufacturer'? How about CAD artiste?

Let's see some actual photos!

A few years ago I saw one of the Farboud prototype cars at Autosport show. And even then, that car was just a spaceframe with a pretty fibreglass body. I got some funny looks from the stand when I was looking under it and commenting on how agricultural it looked

But the guy obviously has the ability to get a car made, I just wish he would get on and do it and stop with all the marketing gimicks of releasing renderings

^^^ yes, you are right, it did appear at a motor show and it is not fibreglass but carbon fibre goodness - even carbon fibre chassis.

the pictures in the paper looked like a real physicla car but will check tonight.


and before someone points it it is steel tube chassis, I was referring to the newpaper article.

Nope, it was a steel tube chassis. The car was a mock up. And I have no reason to believe they used carbon for the body on the mock up car.
Again it was Mr Farboud telling everyone that it was a CF monocoque

well that side window is just dangerous, look how small and too far forward it is, then imagine trying to pull out a junction in that

Are we saying that the AF10 isnt carbon fibre? for 300k? i hope your wrong ...

I think what we are saying is that no 'real' version of this car exists, it's all CAD renderings and mock ups.

^^^ could well be - it was featured in yesterday's sunday times - the white car looks like it is exists as bits and bytes although orders are being taken now.
