History and Background The Factory Five Racing Type 65R Cobra Daytona Coupé Replica draws inspiration from the Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupé, the model developed in the mid-1960s for use in international GT racing. The original Daytona Coupé was intended as an aerodynamic counterpart to the open-top Cobra and played a key role in the battle against European sports cars. In 1965, this model won the world championship, securing the Coupé’s place in motorsport history. Features and Highlights The Cobra Daytona Coupe R (Racing) offered here is a brand-new and 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 the construction of this car; a cost breakdown is available upon request. The Type 65 Coupe-R is the track-focused racing version of the legendary Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe. The design draws inspiration from the iconic race car of the 1960s but combines this classic look with modern technology and was developed for serious motorsport performance. With a weight of just 1,088 kilograms, 535 pk of power, 620 Nm of torque, and a claimed 0-to-100 km/h acceleration time of 3.6 seconds, its performance is impressive. The car is built around a computer-aided-designed steel tube frame with an integrated roll cage, finished in white powder-coated steel. The aerodynamic fastback body is constructed from lightweight composite materials and features various race-oriented components, including 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 car features fully functional doors. The composite body features the iconic 1965 Le Mans livery and is further complemented by a polished aluminum fuel cap in Aston Le Mans style, glass front and rear windows, and distinctive Le Mans side windows. Power comes from a new Gen3 Ford Coyote 5.0-liter V8, equipped with a modern Engine Management System and mated to a new Tremec TKX five-speed transmission with close-ratio gears. The engine has been tuned on the dynamometer and delivers 535 pk and 620 Nm. In addition, the car is equipped with a Hytech Ford hydraulic thrust bearing, a twin-disc clutch rated for up to 800 pk, and a 31-spline driveshaft. The fuel system consists of an EFI In-Tank Fuel System, supplemented by a QSP fuel catch tank and a QSP high-flow fuel pump. The chassis is also fully geared toward maximum track performance. The car features independent double-wishbone front suspension and a competition-style independent rear suspension based on the Ford Mustang. KONI coil-over shocks, forged and tubular control arms, and a Wilwood high-performance braking system all around ensure exceptional handling. The custom-made Carmar wheels are fitted with new, unused slick tires. The exhaust system consists of stainless steel 4-into-1 manifolds for the Ford Coyote V8, combined with heat-resistant powder-coated stainless steel side exhausts. For cooling, an aluminum radiator, an electric 16-inch high-flow cooling fan, and an engine oil cooler with an electric fan have been installed. The interior is fully equipped with functionality and performance in mind. For example, the car is equipped with seven Autometer Ultra-Lite gauges, including a speedometer, tachometer, oil pressure gauge, coolant temperature gauge, fuel gauge, voltmeter, and oil temperature gauge. It also features a heating and dehumidification system, aluminum racing bucket seats with black vinyl upholstery, Simpson five-point harnesses, and power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering. Summary The Factory Five Racing Type 65R Cobra Daytona Coupé Replica is a newly built, track-focused interpretation of the Daytona Coupé featuring modern technology, a 5.0-liter V8, a five-speed manual transmission, and extensive racing equipment.
