Factory Five MKIII

The Factory Five MkIII is a Cobra-inspired kit car / replica built by Factory Five Racing. It captures the raw, classic appeal of the 1960s Shelby Cobra, but gives builders flexibility in powertrain, suspension, and finishing touches. The car features a full tubular steel chassis, independent rear suspension (in many builds), modern disc brakes, and a lightweight body—making it capable of spirited performance when configured with a powerful V8 drivetrain. The MkIII is a hands-on project: because you pick the engine, transmission, wheels, and details, each build is highly personalized. It’s ideal for someone who wants the look, sound, and visceral feel of a Cobra, combined with the ability to tailor performance to budget or taste.
