Factory Five is a kit car manufacturer that is known for making those flashy Cobra replicas that are probably a blast to drive but mostly sit in garages when the weather is too cold or too hot. But Factory Five sells a variety of other kits, some that look like a GT40 and Cobra Daytona Coupe and 33 Ford...but in the past few years they've started their own designs, which I personally prefer to the derivative retro designs and am keen on the Subaru boxer powered model called the 818. Find this 2016 Factory Five 818 offered for $14000 somewhere in Washington State.
From the seller:

Hard to build one for this price.
ReplyDeleteYeah...umm. I have a hard enough time trusting that something on my Jeep won’t fall apart after I had to hand it over to a local lift installer after a permanently frozen bolt elicited from me enough vitriol to make my atheism a moot point. Multiply that paranoia times n^(to the entire car) and no thanks.
ReplyDeleteFront end design looks to me either unfinished or missing some accoutrement that would be found on the next trim level up.
So a 4WD turbo, engine in the front, generic Japanese Z4 looking, WRX Evora. I wonder how much it weighs?
ReplyDeleteI just want to thank you for the title of this post. Great way to start my Friday.

ReplyDeletePaul Simon would sue but he has more money then he need's lol
ReplyDeleteCheaper and more fun then a 3 wheeled polaris slingshot.....
ReplyDeleteThey have the rear output shaft on the Subaru transaxle welded to make it two wheel drive. I've seen one in person. There are some things about the frame that I'd do differently, but it's well ahead of a cheesy fiberglass body on a VW floor pan school of kit cars.
