For over 20 years FAB Design has created individual small series runs and
unique one-offs from exclusive base vehicles.
The basis for their latest project is the McLaren MP4-12C. The Swiss have taken
it and and created a completely new car that only reminds one to a limited
degree of the British super sports car. The front is marked by a front skirt
with large air intake valves, which after the motto Form Follows Function
supplies the cooling system with fresh air. The sides of the designer bumpers
flow into the imposing forms of the wider wheel arches with the distinctively
stylish air intake valves for the engine's central cooling system that frame the
elegant FAB Design Evolution three-part forged wheels. The aerodynamically
perfectly formed sills complete the sporty sidelines of the Terso (as this
package is named) before they uninterruptedly end in the equally wider designed
rear wings of this super sports car.
The transfer over to the newly designed rear is just as smooth. It not only has
characteristic vent openings but also a diffuser that when it comes to combating
lift at high speed supports the extendible rear wing. In addition FAB Design has
mounted another adjustable but fixed rear wing on the rear hood that as required
can be mounted or removed with only a few hand movements.
At the rear of the vehicle a FAB stainless steel sports exhaust mounted above
the skirt with a 3-chamber carbon tail pipe lets the exhaust fumes sonorously
free. The FAB developers are naturally also improving the performance and
thereby currently achieving a regular performance of 680 hp - instead of the
production line 612 hp that the V8 would otherwise send to the wheels. On top of
this the engine's torque increases to a full 527 lb-ft (715 Nm).
All this power means that the Terso can sprint to 60 mph in just 3 seconds and
reach a top speed of around 213 mph (343 km/h).
