Factory Five are known for their suspension and lightweight chassis. One of their kits is the\u00a0mid-engined rear-wheel drive &#8216;818&#8217;-\u00a0\u00a0based on the Subaru Impreza\/WRX (2002-07). &#8216;818&#8217; stands for the weight of the kit (which is 818 kilograms) and is Factory Five&#8217;s first &#8216;global&#8217; product.<\/p>\n<p>The running gear comes from Subaru because of latter&#8217;s engine layout, lightweight construction and fantastic handling. Moreover, the Impreza can be easily\u00a0modified and is available all across the globe. It&#8217;s not surprising to see that the 818 kit has been purchased by customers from the United Kingdom and Australia.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/gtspiritmedia.com\/gtspirit\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Factory-Five-818C-12.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-125419\" src=\"http:\/\/gtspiritmedia.com\/gtspirit\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Factory-Five-818C-12-696x385.jpg\" alt=\"Factory Five 818 Coupe Rear\" width=\"640\" height=\"380\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Factory Five promises that the 818 kit is its most technologically-advanced creation. Yet, it takes\u00a0up to 250 hours of man-work to get a fully functioning car.<\/p>\n<p>Factory Five provides the frame, body, aluminium and composite chassis panels, front and rear suspension, steering, fuel and cooling systems, exterior and interiors trims and lighting. However, all other components have to be acquired by the owner and get assembled by an expert. Nonetheless, the total cost stands around the $15,000-mark.<\/p>\n<p>The 818 Coupe is the third model of the 818 platform, joining the street and race variants. In the pictures above is the debut model which was showcased at the 2015 Factory Five Racing Open House.<\/p>\n<p>The chassis is borrowed from the street and race kits but the coupe features a revised body design. The production of the 818 Coupe will commence in August, with the pre-booking having already begun.<\/p>\n<p>[Via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.factoryfive.com\/whats-new\/day-20-of-20-meet-the-all-new-factory-five-818c\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Factory Five<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>United States-based kit-car manufacturer, Five Factory, has introduced the coupe variant of its successful 818 model.
