    Styling Ques Borrowed

    If you want a “shagnasty” car what better one to emulate?

    Is there any possibility of releasing the donor car? Or engines that can be used? I really want to start collecting parts now for this build.

    Factory Five has stated that it’s going to be based on the gen3 coupe so any engine that will fit in the Gen3 coupe will also fit in this new car.

    Oh ok. Not really interested in doing more V8s. Only small block ford V8s? That’s so limiting.
    Thanks!

    On the contrary. I'm sure a supercharged coyote will fit in there and that's substantially bigger than a big block. Also, renderings have been published showing a block with 12 cylinders:



    What motor do you want to put in there?

    That's an LS derived V12, AKA "LS12"

    Since its based on the Gen 3 coupe chassis it will most likely have the Mustang drive line.

    I'm glad that the road debris issue has already been brought up here. I don't mind the look of the open area there, but the reality is that the majority of my customers want a high-end show-quality build for something labeled as a "supercar".....and I don't think any of them would be happy driving around a car with half of the paint missing after a couple hundred miles. I hope that FFR is doing something to address that. At the very least, maybe consider offering a "filler panel" that bolts/rivets in to fill that area or 2 versions of the front end of the car?

    I agree with what others have said about the open area behind the front wheels, but I'm curious about how did that design element get our of VR and into full size mock up shape?

    Other than that I commend FFR for stretching the boundaries of company development, and can't wait for the next design shape to enjoy.
