I don't know anything about the818 rally car.
But FFR is working on a front engine super car called the GTF.
Here are some pictures:

The GTF looks interesting. The mock-up chassis looks to be a Challenge car.

I agree, I don't think they have a mock up frame yet for the GTF. I thought I remember someone saying that they would start with the Type 65 frame and stretch and widen it to fit the GTF.

If that happens it would be stellar. The Stratos is a beautiful car!

If you somehow flipped the front radiator frame on the 818 you might be surprisingly close to making that feasible. Other than glass of course.
As far as the GTF - The barge boards are a bit much for me, but I can see how some would find that attractive. I'm more concerned with the design of that chassis. Obviously it's a work in progress and they've been using it for a while with a waiver from NASA but at some point factory five needs to realize that they're unnecessarily risking life and limb with these low-rate designs. I thought the 818 was bad but the number of open tubes and non-nodal intersections on that is terrifying. The entire main hoop isn't triangulated, let alone planer with itself.

If you can’t wait for FFR to build one here’s a company in the U.K. that makes them.

It looks like someone in Indiana is building this green one.
