1965 Factory Five Type 65 TYPE 65R

The Factory Five Racing Type 65R Cobra Daytona Coupé Replica draws inspiration from the Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupé, developed in the mid-1960s for international GT racing. The original Daytona Coupé was designed as an aerodynamic counterpart to the open-top Cobra and played a significant role in motorsport history, winning the world championship in 1965.

This Cobra Daytona Coupe R (Racing) is a brand-new, unused vehicle built by the official importer Hammink Performance based on the Factory Five Racing Type 65 Coupe-R. Approximately €150,000 was invested in its construction; a detailed cost breakdown is available upon request.

The Type 65 Coupe-R is a track-focused racing version of the legendary Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupé. It combines the classic 1960s design with modern technology for serious motorsport performance. Weighing just 1,088 kilograms, it produces 535 horsepower and 620 Nm of torque, with a claimed 0 to 100 km/h acceleration time of 3.6 seconds.

The car features a computer-designed steel tube frame with an integrated roll cage, finished in white powder-coated steel. Its aerodynamic fastback body is made from lightweight composite materials and includes race-oriented components such as a carbon-fiber front splitter, a carbon-fiber rear spoiler, and a full-carbon GT3-style rear wing. Despite the roll cage’s full lateral protection, the vehicle has fully functional doors. The body is finished in the iconic 1965 Le Mans livery, complemented by a polished aluminum fuel cap in Aston Le Mans style, glass front and rear windows, and distinctive Le Mans side windows.

Power is supplied by a new Gen3 Ford Coyote 5.0-liter V8 engine, equipped with a modern engine management system and paired with a Tremec TKX five-speed transmission with close-ratio gears. The engine has been dyno-tuned to deliver 535 horsepower and 620 Nm of torque. Additional performance features include a Hytech Ford hydraulic thrust bearing, a twin-disc clutch rated for up to 800 horsepower, and a 31-spline driveshaft. The fuel system comprises an EFI in-tank fuel system, a QSP fuel catch tank, and a high-flow fuel pump.

The chassis is optimized for maximum track performance, featuring independent double-wishbone front suspension and a competition-spec independent rear suspension based on the Ford Mustang. KONI coil-over shock absorbers, forged and tubular control arms, and a Wilwood high-performance braking system ensure precise handling. The custom-made Carmar wheels are fitted with new, unused slick tires.

The exhaust system includes stainless steel 4-in-1 manifolds for the Ford Coyote V8, combined with heat-resistant, powder-coated stainless steel side exhausts. Cooling is managed by an aluminum radiator, a 16-inch electric high-flow cooling fan, and an engine oil cooler with an electric fan.

Inside, the vehicle is designed for functionality and performance. It features seven Autometer Ultra-Lite gauges, including a speedometer, tachometer, oil pressure, coolant temperature, fuel, voltmeter, and oil temperature gauges. The interior also includes a heating and dehumidification system, aluminum racing bucket seats with black vinyl upholstery, Simpson five-point harnesses, and power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering.

The Factory Five Racing Type 65R Cobra Daytona Coupé Replica is a newly built, track-oriented interpretation of the Daytona Coupé, equipped with modern technology, a 5.0-liter V8, a five-speed manual transmission, and extensive racing features. We recommend attending the viewing day for a comprehensive look at this vehicle.
