FBS
Press Cuttings
Auto Strassenverkher November 2002:
Translation provided by Frank B Meyer who wrote the original piece:
The
biggest surprise about this little roadster from Brackley is its
suspension, which is developed by FBS.
You can throw the rear wheel drive car swiftly around the corner,
yet the car remains pretty comfortable at longer distances.
Under the hood, made of GRP, there is a 2.5-litre V6 with 170 bhp
from the Ford Mondeo. In
this car, which is only 970 kg light, the engine shows what it can do:
from zero to a hundred kilometres per hour in about six seconds.
Even more exciting than the power and the exact shifting is the
sound: at almost any r.p.m., the exhaust bells like a racing-car.
FBS builds one Census per month.
Prices start at about 43 000 Euros. The customer can choose
technical features and interior details individually - even a steel
plate with his name engraved.
