About This Model

Sports Segment: Performance Costs and Enthusiast Premiums

Sports models carry higher insurance premiums — typically 25–40% above equivalent non-performance vehicles — and performance-grade consumables (tyres, brake pads, fluids) add meaningfully to annual running costs. However, enthusiast demand in the secondary market consistently supports residual values above segment averages. Track use, even occasional, can void manufacturer warranties and significantly increase insurance costs. Buyers who intend to use their sports car on track should budget for dedicated track insurance and accelerated consumable replacement.

The Factory Five 818 is a Sports-segment vehicle with a base price of $55,000 USD. 400 hp V8, kit car. Across 50 countries, annual ownership costs range from $12K in Venezuela to $32K in Singapore — a 158% difference driven by import duties, fuel prices, insurance markets, and local taxation.
