Posted on November 18, 2013 by Dave Lindsey in What's New

Our favorite car shooter Dino Petrocelli has done it again, this time capturing the newest Factory Five, our street 818 model. Both cars were painted by Carl’s Collision and featured in our booth at last week’s SEMA Show.

The green and carbon fiber 818S pictured above was also assembled in the right hand drive configuration. It was featured in the Wilwood Brakes booth at SEMA 2013 where it was also awarded one of the “Top 10 Carbon Fiber Cars”.

The red 818S pictured here was featured in Factory Five’s booth next to the 818R which was awarded “Best Domestic” by Sony Playstation’s Gran Turismo.
