The company “Farboud Limited” was established in 1999 by Arash Farboud in Newmarket, Suffolk, England. However, seven years later in 2006 brand changed its name to Arash Motor Company. The brand is specialized in the production of sports cars.
Meaning and history
Arash Farboud was born in Iran, but in the late 1980s, his family moved to England, where his father opened a company selling sterile medical equipment. It was with this company that Arash’s career began, as he inherited it after his father’s death. The business developed very successfully, but in 1998 Arash Farboud visited the famous race “24 Hours of Le Mans”, and he had a new dream. So, in 1999 Farboud decided to create a new supercar brand and founded Farboud Limited, which was renamed Arash Motor Company in 2006.
Since 2006, Arash developed and produced Farboud GT and Farboud GTS, which in 2011 gave way to a new model AF-10. It was the AF-10 car, the design of which was very similar to the style of the Ferrari Enzo, which can be considered the flagship model of the company. In 2014 at the motor show in Geneva, Arash Motor Company presented a novelty — a supercar AF-8, built based on a chassis made of carbon fiber, steel, and aluminum.
Throughout its history company has changed its logo twice. But since the beginning, the Arash Motor Company logo has been adorned with an image of a peregrine falcon, a rare bird that is the personification of speed. The current logo was designed in 2006 as a result of the company’s rebranding.
