FARO Supports Pratt & Miller as They Near Their Final Corvette Racing GT1 Race

LAKE MARY, Fla., June 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- FARO Technologies , Inc.
(Nasdaq: FARO), the world's leading provider of portable measurement and
imaging systems, supports Pratt & Miller Engineering & Fabrication out of New
Hudson, MI, as they prepare for their final race in the GT1 category. The
GT1-Champion Corvette Racing Team is currently in France, preparing for the 24
Hours of Le Mans, which takes place on June 13-14, 2009.

The 24 Hours of Le Mans is the most grueling race of the season and holds
greater significance this year as it is the last time Corvette Racing will
participate in the GT1 class. "Le Mans is recognized as the most prestigious
and demanding race of the year, and FARO is very proud to be Corvette Racing's
sponsor again this year," said Pete Edmonds, FARO Vice President of Sales for
the Americas division.

During their time on the circuit, the Corvette factory team has scored an
impressive 72 victories in 102 races, including an overall win at the 2001
Daytona 24-hour race and five GT titles in the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

"We are looking forward to our 11th running at the 24 hours of Le Mans. It has
been great experience having FARO on board with us. FARO has been a strong
partner in the success of our team and helping us stay ahead of the
competition," said Gary Pratt.

Corvette Racing, which is run by Pratt & Miller on behalf of General Motors,
uses FaroArms in the design, quality control and race-specification compliance
of their vehicles. They also use the FARO Gage to validate parts in their
precision machine shop and the FARO Laser ScanArm to reverse-engineer
components. This allows the company's engineers and technicians to accurately
and efficiently produce everything from small, individual components and
sub-assemblies to complete turnkey road and race cars.

"Pratt and Miller's objective is to win at everything they do, from auto
racing to developing the C6R street car," said Pete Edmonds, "They strive for
perfection and reliability, and FARO helps them reach those goals."

As the Corvette Racing team continues to pursue championships and tune their
cars to perfection, FARO will remain a strong partner, helping Pratt & Miller
with their design projects from initial conception to finished product. "The
combination of our team's expertise and FARO's portable, computerized
measuring technologies offers a total design solution, so we have unmatched
time and cost efficiencies, accuracy, and performance," summarized Gary Pratt,
Vice President of Pratt & Miller.
