New York Times Picks FFR 818 “Best Car You Can Build Yourself”

The_New_York_Times_logo

Last Sunday’s New York Times Automotive Section had a great year-end article by Ezra Dyer recognizing cars of 2013 with such distinctions as The Loudest Exhaust (Jaguar F-type) and drumroll please… The Best Car That You Build Yourself (our new 818 sports car)!

“I attended the open house event where Factory Five unveiled the car, and a mob of customers validated the appeal of the concept. I’ve since driven the car, and it’s as entertaining as you’d expect of a vehicle with 265 horsepower and half the weight of a Camaro.” – Ezra Dyer, The New York Times
