Factory Five Racing Type 65 Coupe

The Factory Five Racing Type 65 Coupe is a hand-crafted replica of the classic Ford GT40, meticulously designed to capture the essence of the iconic racing car while incorporating modern technology for enhanced performance and safety. Initially introduced in 2008, this masterpiece pays homage to those legendary machines that swept the podium at Le Mans in the late 60s, boasting distinctive styling cues such as its fibreglass body, sequential taillights, and round headlights nestled behind aircraft-screen style covers. Under the bonnet, enthusiasts can choose from a variety of powertrains ranging from a 289cid V8 up to modern supercharged V8 engines with outputs reaching over 600 horsepower, paired with either manual or sequential transmission options. The car rides on fully independent coilover suspensions and features power-assisted disc brakes for exceptional handling and control. The cockpit is designed to accommodate the driver with comfortable yet supportive buckets seats, surrounded by a dashboard brimming with gauges to monitor performance metrics. Safety features such as roll bar, modern seating positions, and three-point seatbelts help ensure occupants are protected during spirited drives on both public roads and circuits alike. A limited production number of around 20 units annually maintains exclusivity among collectors who appreciate automotive craftsmanship combined with vintage racing DNA. Weighing around 2,400 lbs (1,100 kg), the Type 65 Coupe achieves an impressive power-to-weight ratio befitting its thoroughbred racing origins. This distinctive machine truly embodies the spirit of classic motorsport, offering an unforgettable driving experience tailored for automotive purists and adrenaline junkies alike.
