We’ve been driving and racing our Roadster design for over ten years. It was our very first kit. After some refinement on the Roadster, we started looking for the next kit to design and engineer. We took our time and let our track and street experience with the Roadster influence our design goals for our next car. We knew we wanted to design a hardtop and we knew it had to be true to our company philosophy of vintage racing design, pure performance and real value. |

The FFR Type 65 Coupe is the culmination of four years of engineering and design work. The first prototype was completed in the spring of 2000 and production of chassis kits began September 2000. In it's design, you will find all of the benefits of our racing programs in a package that is surprisingly streetable. The Coupe is a rendition of the famous world championship coupes of the 60’s, but with the best modern technologies under the skin. In July of 2000, our first car was tested by Car and Driver magazine. After running the car through the standard testing procedure, C/D Technical editor Larry Webster had this to say of the FFR Coupe. "The
phrase 'eye-ball sucking performance' is a tired, overused metaphor,
but it should have been saved for the FFR Coupe. Galloping
to 60 mph takes only 3.6 seconds. Bye-bye, Porsche 911 Turbo!
The quarter mile passes in only 11.9 seconds at 119 mph, faster
than a Dodge Viper GTS." |
