Smokin’ Factory Five in Autoweek

Factory Five Roadster with Kumho Tires Identified

 

Yes that is a Factory Five Challenge car pictured in Autoweek magazine (Nov 28 ish) doing a sick smoky burnout.  The car is a slightly warmed over version of the spec class Challenge Model (changes include a beefed up 350 hp Roush mill and bigger brakes).


 

The tires that are generating so many questions are Kumho Ecsta MX-C’s.  They are designed to turn colors when you light ‘em up.  Back last summer when we were testing them at a Kumho Press event we were sworn to secrecy… The tires are now for sale.  Get ‘em while they’re hot!
