Over the years we have grown from a start-up business in a small garage to become the world&#8217;s largest manufacturer of &#8220;build-it-yourself&#8221; component car kits. We employ a full-time crew of about 40 people, and are located in Wareham, Massachusetts (about an hour south of Boston). We make our products right here in the USA, in the heart of New England where American manufacturing was born.<\/p>\n<h2>\n\t\tWhat&#8217;s New at Factory Five\n\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"\/news\/\" target=\"_self\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRead More News\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t<h2><strong>Mk5 Roadster<\/strong><br \/>\nSome Evolution, More Revolution<\/h2>\n<p>Each successive version of this design has made the car faster, stronger, safer, and easier to build. When we launched the Mk4 version in 2010, it was intended to be, as I described, &#8220;One last bite at the apple,&#8221; and so the changes to the Mk4 were the most dramatic of all versions to that date.<\/p>\n<p>As we kick-off our 30 year anniversary, we are entering production on an all-new generation of our Roadster, the Mk5. Many of the changes are profoundly revolutionary that take the design to unmatched heights, while some of the changes are evolutionary that simply improve existing parts and designs.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.factoryfive.com\/roadster\/mk5\" target=\"_self\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLEARN MORE\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t<h2><strong>MK4 Roadster<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Factory Five Mk4 Roadster is the world&#8217;s best-selling, best-engineered, and best-performing replica of all time.<\/h2>\n<p>There is no better way to honor a legacy than to continue it.
