Official Reveal: All-New Mk5 Roadster!

Posted on January 15, 2025 by Dave Lindsey in What's New

Join us on Saturday, January 18th from 10 am to noon here at our headquarters in Wareham, MA for a very special unveiling of the newest Factory Five Cobra replica, the Mk5 Roadster! We will have on display in the showroom a completed Mk5, alongside a Mk5 rolling chassis, a Mk5 frame, and a Mk5 kit as shipped. Re-engineered from the chassis up, this new Mk5 takes the world’s #1 Cobra replica to the next level.

The crew from PowerNation visited Factory Five this past September while we were testing the prototype version of the Mk5. The car has been evaluated by beta builders, and Mk5 kits are now in production. We will take the covers off the finished car at our Saturday, January 18 event, and we will have full details on our website at the same time as we unveil the car in our showroom.

The Mk4 Roadster stays in production, and also remains the chassis for the 289 USRRC/FIA Replica and the Competition Mk4-R.

Bill B. Shares an Update on His Mk5 Build

April 20, 2026

Every build has a story—but some take a lifetime to begin. After decades as a technician, engineer, and business owner—building companies, leading teams, and designing critical communications systems across New England—I decided at 50 to return to where it all started: a passion for cars.

Factory Five Racing provided the perfect canvas. The MK5 isn’t just a kit—it’s a foundation that allows builders to bring something truly… Read More »
