    Sneak Peek: Factory Five 25th Anniversary Mk4 Roadster!




    Dave Smith gives a sneak peek our 25th Anniversary Mk4 Roadster, and discusses some of the exclusive features with Tony.

    We’ve been working hard on plans to celebrate our 25th Anniversary next year. One of the most important part of this celebration is our 25th Anniversary Mk4 Roadster. Customers have been asking about the pending 25th Anniversary Special Edition Mk4 Roadster as we did 15 and 20 year models (that each sold out in days).



    Here is a sneak peek of the car as we are building right now, and a list of all the special parts included in this limited edition Mk4. Some of these parts are unique to this car only, and others are high-end upgrade options that come standard with this car. We will be making only 25 of these cars, and the first one is going to be delivered to the Ohio Cobra Club in the next few weeks for next year’s 2020 auction car to benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

    Click here to order now! Here is what comes with each 25th Anniversary car:

    Exclusive bronze metallic powder-coated frame
    Each Special Edition 25th Anniversary Mk4 gets special custom bronze powder-coating of the chassis which is exclusive to these anniversary cars and will not be sold separately. (Value: $1,200)



    Custom powder-coated satin black aluminum footboxes & wheel wells
    The standard aluminum panels which make up the footboxes and wheel wells of this car have been powder-coated black (Value: $400). These black panels are visible when you lift the hood, and add a nice compliment to the bronze chassis and special edition black Wilwood brakes.


    The 25th Anniversary model rolling chassis was on display at NSRA Nationals 2019.

    25th Anniversary Badging and Logos
    Each of the 25 Special Edition cars come with exclusive branding which includes 25th Anniversary side badges, steering wheel boss, embroidered leather seat backs, and serialized GPS gauges.

    Independent Rear Suspension standard with high-end KONI 2812 double-adjustable shocks and sway bars front/rear

    Our best-selling and best-performing independent rear suspension is standard on this Special Edition Factory Five Mk4 (Value: $2,499). We wanted the anniversary cars to out-handle anything on the road, so we’ve included KONI’s high-end double-adjustable aluminum body shocks, and front and rear sway bars. The shocks are manufactured in silver aluminum with a threaded body and custom coil-over kit (KONI’s value: $1,799, Sway bars value is $480).



    Custom logo Wilwood performance brakes front and rear

    The top shelf cross-drilled and slotted Wilwood performance brakes come custom powder-coated in black with silver Anniversary branding. These Wilwoods are huge 13″ brakes all around and come with a cool 6-piston front caliper and dual piston rear caliper with a separate emergency brake caliper. (Value: $3,130)



    All-new Bronze 18″ Ten Spoke Sunburst Style Wheels





    Our brand-new 18″ bronze wheels match our chassis closely, and resemble vintage 427 Cobra Sunburst style wheels, but provide modern handling and tire selection. These new rims are forged, 2-piece wheels with five large spokes and five smaller spokes. They come in 18″ x 9″ in the front and a massive 18″ x 11″ in the rear. (Value: $2,499)



    Note: For those who prefer a more traditional Halibrand wheel on your Anniversary car, you can substitute any set of 15″, 17″, or 18″ Halibrands.

    25th Anniversary Logo Gauges with GPS Speedometer



    We developed this custom gauge set with our partners at Speedhut to incorporate individually serial numbered gauges with 25th Anniversary 1995-2020 graphic. These Vintage Gauges incorporate GPS Speedometer. (Value: $750)

    Misc. Options

    We want some consistency with these Anniversary cars, so we are including sun visors, wind wings (Value: $198), trunk gas strut kit (Value: $99), and body cut-outs (Value: $149).

    Mk4 Roadster Body Revisions

    We wanted the Anniversary cars to have the very best Mk4 body, so we built an all-new dedicated mold so that the parts would be brand-new and require less bodywork (Value: $1,800). We also made small changes to the Anniversary body. Here is a summary of the body changes:

    License plate light raised for more space for the US standard size plate (not shown).

    Rear taillight pad switched from dual round to singular rectangular on each side.

    Front fenders enlarged slightly to allow for more tire clearance (not shown)

    Rear fender side profile revised to move leading edge rearward and better visually center rear tire (not shown)



    We are only making 25 of these cars and they are only available as complete kits. These 25 Year Anniversary cars represent a significant milestone in the history of Factory Five Racing, and I’m excited about the package that we’ve put together.

    The price of these 25th Anniversary cars is $34,930 which includes a $3,500 discount for Factory Five customers. The Anniversary models are available to Factory Five customers on a first come, first served basis with $18,440 of special anniversary edition parts and options added to the Factory Five Mk4 Roadster complete kit.

    A lot of really nice options on that. Not so sure the wife would be happy with me if I ordered one when I still have an unfinished kit in the garage.

    Is that dash going to be available separately?

    Pretty cool! I really like the rectangular tail lights. I hope that's something we can buy as an accessory to existing kits. Obviously, extra body work not included.

    I'm just glad that they finally addressed the rear wheel arch centering and license plate issues.

    These two items caused me to shorten the wheel base about 3/4" and go with a different license plate solution.

    Hopefully the drivers door issue will be resolved as well.

    I'm Happy To See That The Factory Five Team Is Taking Yet Another Bite At The Roadster Apple!

    Nice package.

    Curious as to others thoughts on the bronze colored wheels with the other bright work? Seems like when most guys have gone black wheels they also black out the chrome. I’m on the fence whether bronze and chrome would look good together and with what body color. Would love to see a mock up of this?

    On this carbon fiber dash do I see it molds down in the center and is this just to contour to the dash support tubes?

    In the video tha FRR put together to introduce the 25th anniversary edition, they discuss that molded section of the dash as simply a convenient place for mouting switches.
