Factory
Five GTM
Well
established kit car manufacturers, Factory Five, created the GTM out of their
vision of an affordable American Supercar. Like Factory Five's other models the
GTM is also a kit, and you have to source the GM drivetrain yourself. The GTM
is powered by an aluminium block GM V8, an engine with a limitless variety of
configurations and power outputs.
This
is mated to a Porsche 911 transaxle, allowing for the mid-mounted engine
position. All this is housed in an aluminium and steel tube frame wrapped in an
attractive, if somewhat generic, composite bodyshell.
To
help the home builder in their construction, the GTM's suspension, brakes and
performance parts are lifted from the high-spec Corvette C-5 and other OEM GM
performance components.
Despite
being a 'supercar' the interior of the Factory Five GTM has been fitted out
with the luxuries most American drivers have come to expect, including; air
conditioning, power windows and plenty of sound deadening and space.
