pBritain's history is punctuated in no small part by the proliferation of its cottage industry. And
while the industrial revolution may have taken care of that to a large degree, it's still alive and
thriving in the realm of the supercar. Small independent exotic automakers abound, including names
like Ascari, Ultima, Noble, Farboud, Farbio and Arash, to name just a few. Trying to keep track of
them all is enough to make your head spin, especially when the same guy is behind the latter three.
After selling off Farboud, the a
href="http://www.autoblog.com/2007/06/07/farboud-changes-its-name-to-farbio/"new owners changed the
name to Farbio/a and founder Arash Farboud started a new outfit under his first name. What you see
here are the first proper images of his latest creation, the a
href="http://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/29/farboud-af10-supercar-to-be-at-britain-motor-show/"Arash
AF10/a. /p pThe carbon-fiber body, which (aside from the adjustable front wing) bears a startling
resemblance to the Ferrari Enzo, is laid over a carbon fiber chassis for a sprightly low curb
weight of 1,200kg (about 2,600 lbs). Power is provided by the 7-liter pushrod V8 out of the
Corvette Z06, tuned from the stock 498 hp up to 530 thanks to new intake and exhaust systems,
driving the rear wheels through a manual Graziano gearbox and kept in check by AP Racing brakes.
The supercar is expected to sell for about 170k pounds sterling - a fair bit less than the
pound;220k a Lamborghini Murcielago will cost a British customer - and begin delivery sometime next
year. A sequential gearbox is expected to join the catalog, as well as the potential for dropping
in the supercharged V8 from the Corvette ZR1 a year and a half down the line. In the meantime you
can check it out in the gallery below./p pdiv class="postgallery"pstrongGallery: a

LEDs and an ATmega8 that sends the signals to the LEDs. Source code and schematics included. He
writes -
I arranged the LED’s in 4 rows of 12 pieces and the resistors fit quite nicely between the
LED’s. I used four BD139 NPN transistors to drive the rows. It took me hours to drill and
then solder this board(48 LED’s and 48 resistors mean 192 holes pl | |
