What terrible horsepower numbers 580 cubic in 7,000 RPMs and they're only making 755 horsepower. That better be a factory motor with 100,000 mi warranty because that's the level of performance they're getting out of it They're moving 1.5 CFM to make a horsepower Even your standard backyard hot rod motor is 1.35 CFM And supercars are more like 1.18 CFM to make a horsepower So this car is not very efficient at making power from all that displacement However it's right on par with a factory motor. Hell look at the old 1980s trans ams... They had to move 1.8 CFM to make a horsepower but there again those were smog cars this is a freaking race car
@Dave Pawson jokes aside I believe Rob said the idea was to be working on the C8 and 6 rotor projects while the 4 rotor is at a standstill whether it be away for bodywork or waiting on parts in order to fill in the gaps and not just be sitting idle
NOW THIS, will captivate the younger enthusiasts! And by the looks of it, it seems Front Engine! I wouldn't have my engine anywhere else! (Mostly for maintenance reasons) The one thing that stopped me from buying a GTM is that it was too 80-90s racecar aesthetic. I still think it's pretty, but I never could vibe with it's design as it felt "before my time" I definitely vibe with this design. I hope the orders for this kit become available a few years from now.
Indeed, dual overhead cams tend to add a lot to the package size of an engine but generally speaking engines are measured by displacement. When someone identifies engines by their displacement and says “all the way up to” no one would assume he is referencing package size.
I'm so pleased to hear that Factory 5 finally realized that some of their cars are getting a bit dated. The Cobra is a cool car, but there are just too many of them out there. No matter how well you build one, it's just ONE MORE COBRA.
Yes, Cobras are just as popular as Toyota Corollas where I live. Sick of seeing them. Even the receptionist at my office has one. Outdated design. Stupid idea in the first place.
Factory five is just 20 minutes away I've been to the factory many times they build amazing cars build with quality parts chassis suspension components and body's can't beat the cost of there kits 👍
The GTM....is mid-engine for a reason. Race a car and you'll know why! It's balanced. Balance isn't just an old 1980's to 90's thing, it's important. Supercar's aren't super that won't take a corner fast! Balance plays that really important part even today!
No doubt it initially looks like a C6-C7 Vette reskin Body kit. Don't lie we all see it. I would have loved to see that styling as True mid engine though. Hard not to get a C8 Vette for the same cost though.
It's like apples and oranges. The C8 is a production car with all the nannies and weight that come along with that. This is a tube chassis race car with a license plate. They are very different animals. You cannot get a true manual trans in a Corvette anymore.
Im really hoping they keep the GTM.though. I love the GTM, Daytona Coupe and this model a lot. The Superlite SLC is great. But if They want to remain competitive, pricing is the biggest issue at hand. Modern does not mean better and remember that the GT40 was and is one of the best speedsters out there and its Superformance that has the license to make the replicas. Kind of wonder whose is better qaulity with affordability for the middle man like me. I hope Factory Five, Superlite, Superformace, RCR and other budget super car builders watch and read these comments. I really hope they keep the GTM, Daytona Coupe models all on board and just add these as more model options.
I'd put a rotary in it... unique in design and sound, extreme light weight, fuel economy isnt such a problem on a car like that, car is light weight which suits the low torque of a rotary engine Seems a perfect application for the engine we all have shortlisted when the question of an engine swap comes up
The thing I like the most of the car being front engine is that if you put a smaller engine the weight goes more to the center than when with a mid engine the weight moves forward .
This is a beautiful car..definitely think you’d see alot of these on the road..I’ve never seen a factory five with any of the big dodge engines yet..factory five demon maybe..this would be the car
They try to sound really smart, BUT. The 5.0 liter is around 302 cubic inches. The formula was created back in the '70s for the TransAm racing series and every manufacturer had an engine in that range. Chevy had the 302, Dodge had the 305 and ford had the 302 (which was actually smaller than 302 inches)
I absolutely love the GTM. However, the new F9R front engine appears more desirable as sourcing a desirable 'built ' transaxle can be tedious. Furthermore, engine options are endless with a front engine.
Good work on editing and everything but the script might need some extra auditing before recording. The Small Block Ford 302 and “Massive 5.0 liter” are both a 302. Kind of. The original pushrod Ford 302 was actually 4,942cc or 301.6 cu inches and the new modular DOHC 5.0 liter Coyote V8 is 4,951cc or 302.1 cu inches prior to the 2018 model year when the engine had it’s cylinder bore size increased from 92.2mm to 93mm or 3.63” to 3.66” which increased displacement from 302 to 307 cu inches. which is still a 5.0 liter. One difference between the old pushrod V8 and the new modular V8 is the width of the engine at the heads. The modular engine is several inches wider than the pushrod V8.
The GTM will never be built for 50 Grand. He said the car needs a few bits and pieces in addition to an engine from a Corvette. You failed to mention the $20,000 transaxle from a Porsche. Which are getting harder and harder to find. To do a good job on one of these cars going to cost you somewhere between 70 and $90,000 once it's completely sorted. And the body takes an extraordinary long time to get it to fit correctly. Just in case anybody thinking about buying one now you know!
Why is that bike in the shot, is it his and he just wants to show it off??? Love how he says everything from a 302 to a massive 5.0L considering 302 is a 5.0 L
anton herres No he’s right when the old 302 pushrod motors are fit into a physical small box, a dual overhead cam Coyote motor needs vastly more width in the head area.
Well. Another option. This "R" race/concept version is made of Carbon Fiber, but the street version could be produced in standard fiberglass. This would obviously cut down the costs. (I imagine someone already noted this)
Of course the 5.0 is massive. This is due in part to the dual overhead cams and 4 valves per cylinder so that it can produce similar power numbers as the smaller, lighter, more affordable, and ubiquitous LS engines. And suddenly millions of blue oval fans became massively butthurt.
The Original Factory 5 GTM reminded me of a Mash-Up of a FORD GT and a Ferrari Supercar!...As a FORD Guy, I Didn't like the Idea that its Chassis was based on a Corvette Drivetrain and Engine! : ( But, I like the F9R/F9, Especially since it accommodates a more Variety of Engine/Trans Choices!

Soooo much better than the 818. I couldn’t wrap my mind around that one. It was their truly original design but it was just a bit off in so many places and didn’t look the part of a gorgeous kit car. I love the 65 coupe, Cobra roadsters, and GTM supercar but this is vastly approaching as a new favorite.
One trend that bothers me is people using the Ferrari Enzo as a base for another car. They are just too rare and desirable for people to be destroying them. The LS engine is used because they are relatively affordable and easy to maintain. I like some of the lit cars that use them.
It shares none of the design language of a supra. Tf This is more inspired by the dodge viper, and other american designed cars. The new supra should have looked like a slightly updated Mk. IV.
I don't get how "more room" is a good reason to move the engine up front.... when we're talking about a bespoke car. They could have fit the v12 in the back... Like right on the heels of the corvette finally going MR with it's layout specifically to escape the limit they hit with putting down power on the old layout.. this is a really awkward move. Like the #1 question for everyone looking at this is going to be "but what if Instead I modified a C8?"
Yes, the Factory Five f9r with a 2018 Jeep Trackhawk AWD drive train. You can easily get 1000 hp from the stock 707hp Hellcat engine and the Trackhawk drive train can take it...happily. A stock 5400lb Trackhawk will do 0-60 in 3.5 seconds. So, a 2400Ib Factory Five f9r with 1,000hp and AWD. Beast Mode.
A small block Ford 305 is a 5.0. So only one engine fits i guess? And yes I know there are old 302s and the new 5.0 but it's the same displacement i know the heads are bigger in the new engine because it's dohc but still the block is similar.
I don't understand why @4:35 you say "everything from a small block Ford 302 all the way up to a massive 5.0L Coyote." You know those are the same displacement, right?
You described it as a kit car, with a 750hp V12, then a few minutes later stated "the cost is just under $25k, excluding some key components, like the LS crate motor." Does it come with a 12, or require a crate 8. Watch your videos, before you post them...
Cool looking car but man is that front end just a busy looking mess. Until... you get to the back end. The backend looks like the path of destruction after a tornado goes through. What a mess.
@Tropic Lightning Naw. But I thought I'd be uniquely bold/brave by dropping in and leaving my completely unsolicited and irrelevant opinion on the design choices. Because...internet. lol
35-$45k is WAAAY off, a s a price estimate. You're vastly underestimating the cost of a carbon fiber shell, upgrade from fiberglass. You're looking at 50-$60k, easily...
If it isn't using a torque tube and transaxle, then moving the engine to the front is gonna be a huge downgrade. That LSV12 is some SERIOUS juice, though. As long as a Viper engine, but with 2 extra cylinders, more displacement potential, better head flow potential, and lighter.
Sooo.. I heard him say turbo barra, intercooled, and water meth injection to cool the air charge and make a healthy 1000hp and be tunable to a cruising power of 600hp..

W x H x L dimensions, coyotes are a rather large engine.
Indeed, dual overhead cams tend to add a lot to the package size of an engine but generally speaking engines are measured by displacement. When someone identifies engines by their displacement and says “all the way up to” no one would assume he is referencing package size.
The 302 is 19" wide, 22" long, and 23" tall. Coyote is 29" wide, 25" long, and 24" tall... It's a fair bit bigger buddy.
Tooling About any SBF will fit, and FYI they have stroker cranks for coyotes now so you can build up to 340” coyote motors

what a breathtaking design. Thanks for the heads up.
You talk bad about the C5 corvette suspension but it's still world class when set up right. Coilovers, etc. The GTM pulled 1.09 g's on STREET TIRES.
The V12 wasn't meant to be the intended powerplant, but rather a Ford V8 is what they are aiming for.
For anyone curious the v12 they are using is an LSV12 made by an Australian company capable of 1000hp NA, also can cost anywhere between 30-65k
Preston Aycock - Ford Barra v8, a lot cheaper and can be tuned to well over a 1000hp
The thing I like the most of the car being front engine is that if you put a smaller engine the weight goes more to the center than when with a mid engine the weight moves forward .

Won't work. You'd have to design the chassis around an AWD platform from the start
My man hit that tim Tebow pose the whole time
A small block Ford 305 is a 5.0. So only one engine fits i guess? And yes I know there are old 302s and the new 5.0 but it's the same displacement i know the heads are bigger in the new engine because it's dohc but still the block is similar.
This is how the supra should have looked like
You do have a slight lisp but you’re better at talking than most famous car UA-camrs.
I don't understand why @4:35 you say "everything from a small block Ford 302 all the way up to a massive 5.0L Coyote." You know those are the same displacement, right?
Not a fan of the Acura looking headlights. Hopefully they come up with better front and rear lights
Check out Superlite and DDR as well.
Hope they make it, ill get a few of them, do they have a sound system? maybe carplay would be nice
Need a twin turbo model and a hemi would be so much nicer, a touch bigger might be a good move for a bigger engine.
@Brad Viviviyal Needs a straight line version to, No Prep is a Huge thing these days, Weight matters, it has more Potential!
I wonder how these cars fair in a crash 🤔
You described it as a kit car, with a 750hp V12, then a few minutes later stated "the cost is just under $25k, excluding some key components, like the LS crate motor." Does it come with a 12, or require a crate 8. Watch your videos, before you post them...
The interior is looking good.
Cool looking car but man is that front end just a busy looking mess. Until... you get to the back end. The backend looks like the path of destruction after a tornado goes through. What a mess.
@Tropic Lightning Naw. But I thought I'd be uniquely bold/brave by dropping in and leaving my completely unsolicited and irrelevant opinion on the design choices. Because...internet. lol
@Tropic Lightning he's right
why the yamaha 300?
35-$45k is WAAAY off, a s a price estimate. You're vastly underestimating the cost of a carbon fiber shell, upgrade from fiberglass. You're looking at 50-$60k, easily...
I like the profile view, I like the rear view, but the front end looks cheap.. I’ll keep my FFR Daytona coupe..
If it isn't using a torque tube and transaxle, then moving the engine to the front is gonna be a huge downgrade. That LSV12 is some SERIOUS juice, though. As long as a Viper engine, but with 2 extra cylinders, more displacement potential, better head flow potential, and lighter.
No Viper (sob). Corvette has gone RMR. The GTM was longer in the tooth than a Smiledon. It only makes sense that F5R would go back to FMR.
Sooo.. I heard him say turbo barra, intercooled, and water meth injection to cool the air charge and make a healthy 1000hp and be tunable to a cruising power of 600hp..
SEMA was canceled last week so look for an independent release
Why are you kneeling in frent of an R3? I know it has a nice frent, but is this frent really appropriate?
I just ruined my auto type for this.
Wait... that's an N/A V12 putting down 750? 😯
Also, that's a pushrod V12... Spicy!!! 😍
@Brad Viviviyal yes, you could also STFU
@Brad Viviviyal More reliable than ls tech? Yeah ok fanboy. Do you even have a 2jz?
Could Hydro-Dip all those parts a lot less expensive and hard to tell.
Factory Five looking good now.
Where did u find that the body is carbon fibre it doesn't even say that on the page
Excellent presentation my man👌🤘
Thank you! 😁✌
me looking to find more things to stuff a twin turbo big block hemi: *maniacal laughter*
Factory five meaning for this car to suit a v12: *immense confusion, a bit of fear*
Keep in mind they don’t sell the v12 and it’s 60k usd on its own.
“Affordable”
Alan O most people will probably use an ls or Ford v8 is my guess.
