Official Reveal: All-New Mk5 Roadster!

Posted on January 15, 2025 by 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.

I made the call to scrub FFR operations for the day. The drive in wasn’t bad, and most roads are clear. Unfortunately our plow crew was late, and the day dawned with 3-4′ drifts in the back parking lot! We will be at work and at full strength tomorrow. Sorry for any difficulties this may cause.

Dave Ryan’s Type 65 Coupe build is moving right along—and it’s become something even bigger along the way. In collaboration with Factory Five Racing, V6 Media is producing a short film documenting the build process. Recently, Dave’s father, Vaun Ryan, sat down to share his lifelong passion for performance cars and motorcycles—sparked as a young boy on the family farm in Utah, building a homemade go-kart powered by a hay-elevator motor.
