Factory Five Racing MkIV
Silver/Vista Blue stripes

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

On the outside this silver & blue beauty evinces the persona and the growl of a vintage 1965 427SC Cobra. But beneath its glistening coachwork you'll find a modern super stiff chassis with a high-performance–oriented suspension and brake components in perfect sync with a high-performance drivetrain.

It's engineered and masterfully equipped for breathtaking acceleration, nimble handling, tight turning and responsive braking... perfect for negotiating country roads and piedmont and mountain switchbacks... from backroads to boulevards, beltways to Autobahns. This is a drivin' machine extraordinaire!

This is Factory Five Racing's Mk4 Roadster with all the latest improvements and enhancements and is the most period-correct FFR Cobra to date. It is two versions newer than the two FFR Mk3s that recently sold at Barrett-Jackson (Scottsdale) for $56,100 and $66,000 respectively.

And, ahem, this li'l crowd dazzler captured the Best in Class award at the Boston World of Wheels 2012.

This sleek serpent delivers nail-you-to-the-back-of-your-seat power. It's a thrill to drive, and handles so exquisitely you'll be tempted to let your friends take it out for a spin (but don't succumb to that idea). If you love an adrenaline rush and don't mind all the favorable glances and 'thumbs up' gestures of recognition, this silver reptile is for you. It was painstakingly built by an A.S.E. Master Technician.

All the components employed in the build were brand-new and installed to meet or exceed industry standards. Every nut & bolt was hand torqued; the underside of the fiberglass body is double-coated with Herculiner to protect against paint chips from underneath, and to further reduce road noise. It has been driven only just over 200 (mostly break-in) miles (≈320 km) since completion, and the cockpit still radiates a just-built/new car aroma.
