    Default Factory Five Racing GTM

    The idea for the GTM is simple. Design a modern supercar and price it where an ordinary guy can afford. The only catch is that you have to provide your own running gear (GM based) and you have to build it yourself.



    After more than three years of engineering and development work, we are ready to introduce the world to our vision of what an American-designed Supercar should be. The GTM is an American V-8 powered, mid-engined car with a composite body shell and an aluminum and steel tube frame chassis. The car uses GM Performance engine and suspension parts with four-corner coil-over shocks, huge brakes and a Porsche 911 Transaxle.



    In the Factory Five tradition, the car is first and foremost a high performance car. The GTM is light and aerodynamic, with excellent weight distribution and precise race-car handling/braking derived from the Chevrolet Corvette C-5.



    The car is engineered to be built as a chassis kit by a person at home. More than ten years of manufacturing the best engineered, safest, best selling and easiest to build kits in the world has made us uniquely capable of this challenge.



    Lastly, no matter how well engineered the car is, and how good it looks, in order to succeed we knew we would have to ensure the car had modern comfort and control. The GTM has a large and quiet cockpit, good visibility and modern temperature controls. Items like A/C, power windows, and complete interior make sure the car isn’t limited to race track duty.



    From the first design sketch to the completed production car the team has kept faithful to its charter to deliver a new All-American Supercar design. The GTM is an all-new design for us. It is 100% American designed and proudly made in the USA.

    A what? A Caterham maybe?

    Anyways. Im not big on kit cars but Superformance and Factory Five Racing are different.

    It's more of the thinking you get as a race chassis manufacture. We build the chassis, you bring the power train.

    + Allot of their products are retro Daytona Coupes and GT40s. Peter Brock designed the original and the new one so its legit.

    I like the fact that 100 Factory Five Daytona coupes cost the same as 1 original.

    Oh Kaz from Gran Turismo has said that he likes the GTM. I guess it is cause it resembles a Ford GT. (Kaz owns 2 of those)
