Wow, that's nice. I also heard yesterday that they are now offering the new Mustang IRS in there Cobra. To me that's a huge improvement.

Can AC be installed? I can't figure that out on the FF site. Yes, actually important to those of us who would like to talk our wives into letting us build one.

I am running out of excuses not to make some FF product my next project once I liquidate all the other cars blocking up my property.

Although a Daytona with modern IRS ticks more of my boyhood fantasy boxes... the coupe version of the 818 is really nice.

Very nice.

Count me in the "Is the engine in the passenger compartment?" and the "Are there alternative drivelines?" camp.

Oh, now that is nice! Wonder what the build cost difference is between this and the GTM.

I like the looks. But, it looks impossible to work on.

In reply to JohnyHachi6:

While it doesn't look like it, they say the top is removable.

"Introducing the all-new 818 Coupe! This design joins the 818S street model and the 818R race model. The design is based on the 818 chassis, but incorporates a new removable hard top coupe design with interior bulk head and power side windows, rear glass hatch and rear glass quarter windows. The new Coupe also comes with a revised front end which includes new fenders, 3D-printed headlamp bucket and revised headlight design, nose, and grill. The new 818 Coupe will begin shipping this summer, and you can save your place in line by placing a pre-order for only $99. The target production start date is August 1st, 2015.

wow. I was NOT a fan of the 'vert design, but that is nice. Too bad about the subie power.

It's nice indeed, although the retainer-pin hood looks a bit amateur and it's all a tad generic. But I understand the conservatism. From a marketing perspective that's safer than going with something "progressive".

This may not be the time or place for this, but I'm concerned that as Factory five makes more products at a higher level of refinement, some politician is going to call BS on specially constructed vehicles and make them meet new car requirements. There could even be collateral damage in terms of making requirements tougher on all kit cars.

That would be nice. I personally would like to see honda K engines as an option or older stuff like SR20

Has anyone figured out of that body fits on to a GTM Chaise? That would be what I would want to build.

I think it has just the rite amount of 370Z in it. How the 370Z could have / should have looked.
