Red Bull Racing Formula One driver Mark Webber drove the Infiniti EMERG-E range-extender hybrid sports car, a vehicle capable of 0-60mph sprints in just four seconds, for the first time at the 2012 Goodwood Festival of Speed. Mark Webber said: “The EMERG-E looks beautiful and is very quick – faster than you expect with it being so quiet. – Cars like this have to be the future – fast, fun and clean.”

OctHave a look at our latest service vehicle and customer loan car, the all newly imported Mitsubishi i (MIVEC). These i cars are revolutionary in their feature packed design and amazing running costs; just 8 cents per kilometre to run….. yes amazing economy, a conscious car for the environment, and best of all it has great performance figures not just as a city runabout, but also as a long drive option. The i Mivec is a 660cc petrol engine, so you get the best of both worlds, great economy with conservative petrol technology. Electric doesn’t seem like such a smart option, especially in major cities and metro areas like Perth Western Australia, commuting one way and needing a recharge is a painful option after a while, unfortunately these electric cars do not have long distance options, petrol on the other hand is simple and convenient.
We have many colour options and specs in stock now. Starting from $17,990; we are also offering free 12 months service on any vehicle purchased up to the end of 2011.
We employed our graphic sign designers GT Graphics to lay the standard Fabcar Racing livery to our very own i.
Check it out soon at Fabcar!

AugTarga West 2011 marks a return to competitive rally for young West Australian Steve Jones. After winning consecutive rallies in 2008 and 2009, Jones suffered an engine failure in the earliest of stages of the 2010 rally, denying him a chance to contest for the title. Steve is going to be joined once again by very talented co-driver Ben Searcy, whom he campaigned the successful 2009 tarmac championship with.
The support for Steve this year will come from the newly formed Metropolis Fabcar Racing team, who has put Jones behind the wheel of what promises to be an extremely quick Nissan R35 GTR. The team intends to mount a full on assault on this years Australian Tarmac Championship, a trophy still yet to find a home in the Fabcar showroom. Steve is also backed this year by McDonalds, and northbridge super gym – live fitness.
The new Metropolis Fabcar team proudly boasts a background of both talent and competitive pedigree. Piloting an Evolution X in the showroom class is very competent steerer Dave Heaton. The guys at Fabcar have just finished prepping his Mitsubishi for the rally, and they are confident of it being very competitive.
Ross Hamilton makes his return to Targa West on the back of a sensational 3rd outright in the 2010 rally behind the wheel of his Evo 9. Ross has enjoyed a string of good form coming into Targa West 2011, and will be pushing to better his performance this time round.

After a long wait – its now official Fabcar has Mitsubishi I models available for immediate delivery.
The Mitsubishi i is a kei car from Japanese automaker Mitsubishi Motors, first released in January 2006,[1] twenty eight months after its debut at the 2003 Frankfurt Motor Show.[2] It is the first four door automobile since the 1960s to employ a “rear midship” setup with the engine behind the passengers, in an attempt to improve safety and interior space without enlarging the overall exterior.[1][3]
The innovative layout and styling of the i proved an immediate critical and commercial success, exceeding Mitsubishi’s initial sales targets by 20 percent and winning thirteen awards in its first year.[4][5] Although designed with the Japanese keijidōsha light automobile class in mind, the attention it generated led to its subsequent introduction in right hand drive markets in Asia, Oceania and Europe. It is also used as a basis of the 2009 i-MiEV battery electric vehicle.
