[onyx_riddle]

Omni
Alpha
Reno
Kitera
Reflex
KBT-R
Hyflex
Miohn -(not the sportiest.. but I like the idea)

I had some good ones as i tried to fall asleep last night. But I just can't think of them. There is one thing I really want it to be called.
Mine.

I hope no one missed this one because it is really catchy and has lots of symbolism:

Factory Five 818 Fortissimo

1. the musical symol above the 'ff' doubles for 'Factory Five'
2. the definition "to be played loudly" ties in nicely "play" as in toy and "loudly" as in stand out in both styling and performance

This is by far the best, imho.

I like the reasons for this name. The artful nature of driving coincides well with playing music. The word also suggests 'fortified' or 'strong'. Not too difficult to pronounce, and it sounds refined and expensive. Only downside, not a musician myself, I think I'd have a hard time remembering it.

I am glad to hear I'm not the only one that really liked the name 'fortissimo'. of course '818' is what most people will call it, similar to the way Mazda Miata and MX-5 are totally interchangable (best example I can think of right now, but there are lots more). Think about how badass this would look as a badge along with the '818'... maybe in a similar configration to this: 'ff' goes where mazda emblem is (stands for Fortissimo AND Factory Five) and 818 goes where "MX-5" is...





Presenting the Factory Five 818 Fortissimo: "Play Loudly"

[Oppenheimer]

Yeah, but try to say 'fortissimo' without using a fake Italian accent. I know I can't.

Mama Mia, bupity bah bah! Now that's a spicy Meat-a-ball! I agree that is pretty much the biggest downfall with using an italian word for a U.S. manufactured car

[BipDBo]

For the roadster, I propose, "Ventus," which is latin for "Wind."

Just don't break it.

[bbatts]

I like it simple and to make an obvious reference to its origin.

My suggestion is; F5 and F5/R

Thanks,

BB

It's probably already been said (17 pages worth of posts, and no, I didn't read them all), but I like 818 for the name. It's simple, and Factory Five doesn't already have a car with just numbers for the model name.

Reminds me a little of HO scale trains but I like it.

HOF-818

[DrieStone]

I think we should call it "steve"

[LuckyWinner]

The 818 is known by many names......but you may call it.....TIM. Any Monty Python fans out there?

[LuckyWinner]

I still like "SASORI" (Sa-Sory)----Means scorpion

[mxcobra]

BIG4

Code name for Bostons best... Patiots Bruins Red Soxs Celtics

[vozproto]

Could name it after a small, unassuming but fearsome animal.

like a badger, wolverine or mongoose.

Might need to be in a different language though.

[NICK C]

Vision!

[FFR-ADV]

How about "Monster" (I like the mental image of a Duc on four wheels )
On the Near Boston it would commonly be pronounced "Monsta"

I am shamelessly rooting for Vman's striking design!!!

[FFR-ADV]

or perhaps "Vendette" or "Dragon"

[wittmer25]

How about the honey badger...I'm just saying. Because on the track, its nasty and it takes what it wants; it don't care. It specifically eats cobra's for lunch...on the track of course. See link below...R-rated for language only.

[vozproto]

FFR Skree.

Not a real word. Just the name alone makes you think it is small nimble and goes like stink!

Edit: Not to mention that there is no need to translate for the "world car" customers.

Unlike many other states, Massachusetts (FFR home) does not have a state mammal, nothing on the list grabs me.

It was just an idea based on someone's animal comment.

Haha.

But they will have a state mammal once the 818 is out.
At least that what I think according to Urban Dictionary...

1. For residents of Massachusetts, it is an achieved title for driving faster, being wreckless, cutting other drivers off often, and having no patience for other drivers on the road.

[Niburu]

as indicated by the sheer amount of dents you see in Massachusets cars, particularly in the Boston area

[vozproto]

Badger = (according to google translator)

Irish -> Broc (Liking this one)
Catalan -> Teixó
Italian -> Tasso
Latin -> Meles (I like this one too)
