SEMA Preview 2 of 10: V12-powered Project Romulan!

Posted on October 25, 2019 by in What's New

We’ve been working on an all-new front engine supercar design for over a year. The chassis is a derivative of the proven and high-performance Gen 3 Type 65 Coupe. The body is an all-new, original, and modern Factory Five design. The plan is for the body to be delivered in finished (no body work required) carbon fiber. We are bringing the chassis to SEMA powered by a V12 LS engine making 755 HP and an amazing 694 lb.-ft. of torque in a 9.5L displacement!

Designed by Jim (R) and Jesper (L).
The carbon fiber body for this all-new car should be ready in the first quarter of 2020, and production sometime later in the year.
The prototype is powered by a V12 LS engine, but the new car will accept all powerplants that work with the current Type 65 Coupe.
If the new body shape and car make it through prototype evaluation and testing, this new car will likely replace the awesome GTM as our flagship supercar.

Watch the dyno test of our V12 LS engine!
