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”.
