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.

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.

The Australian Version of the i-Miev is due to be released to the public in August, this model is an all electric vehicle and will be priced at approximately $54,000 drive away….

The Fabcar version that will be supplied is a 660cc Petrol Turbo car and priced from $21,990! (ex Govt Charges)

The champ took the FLD crew for a few laps in a Infiniti Performance Line (IPL) G37 Coupe around the ICAR circuit at Mirabel airport, where we were schooled a couple of years back at the Jacques Villeneuve Academy. Surely an experience in and of itself, because young Seb is widely regarded as – and sufficiently proven to be – the best driver on the grid right now.
