Gen 3 Type 65 Coupe - Factory Five Racing

GALLERY | Gen 3 Type 65 Coupe

Introducing the all-new Gen 3 Factory Five Daytona Coupe replica. This third generation car is completely new. There is not a single piece of steel chassis, aluminum panel, or composite body that is shared with the previous gen 1 and gen 2 car! This is effectively an all-new Factory Five design. <a href=”https://www.factoryfive.com/whats-new/new-gen-3-factory-five-coupe/”>Click here to read more about the Gen 3 Type 65 Coupe.</a>

The new chassis was tested and delivers 7.5 times more torsional rigidity than the Gen 1 and Gen 2 cars! Thanks to the muscle in modern CAD and our 20 years+ of chassis engineering, the new Factory Five Gen 3 Coupe chassis is the most rigid FFR frame to date. Even stronger than the mighty GTM! This is a huge deal since a strong chassis delivers the best ride quality and the highest performance on the track.

Today’s horsepower wars ignore the importance of horsepower-to-weight ratios. As horsepower has grown, so has the average vehicle weight. We decided with the new Coupe to go absolutely insane with horsepower to prove the strength of the chassis and the quality of the proven suspension. The crew at Ford Performance delivered a 731 HP engine based on the supercharged Ford 5.0L Coyote engine. The vehicle weighs under 2,500 lbs. full of gas and ready to drive.

The new Coupe chassis uses the proven front suspension geometry and parts of the Mk4 Roadster and all three Factory Five rear suspensions (4-link, 3-link, and 2015 and later IRS).
