Chaparral shot above is hotlinked (same view, larger size).

Inspired by the 1964 LeMans [24 Heures du Mans/FIA World Endurance]–winning Daytona Coupes by famed designer Peter Brock, this Factory Five replica was built in 2009 to run with the best. Using only top-quality components to build, the objective was to build a track weapon that would be street-capable, not the other way around. 46/54 front-to-rear weight bias with 50.1 cross weight. Total weight minus driver is 2,300 lbs. (1,043 kg).

With the upgraded suspension, brakes and drivetrain components (not a donor build), you can drive this car to the track, run it hard all day and drive it back home.

The wind deflectors were first added at Spa (Belgium) in 1964 to redirect "sideblast" air from
the windscreen into the rear brake airways; it promptly became standard Coupe gear.
