Searching for a truly distinctive ride? A performance-centric, open-air roadster that you'll rarely, if ever, come across in your daily travels and is purpose-built for spirited driving? Then give this 2014 Factory Five Roadster 818S a close look. Unlike the competitors in its segment, its manufacturer has been around for more than 30 years and, while it takes only a quick glance to confirm Factory Five's design acumen, the company's lengthy experience has allowed it to perfect the construction process, resulting in a car that not only holds plenty of visual gravitas, but is also built for the long haul. Dressed in eye-catching red paint and rolling on a set of staggered 17"/18" Touren wheels, this is a car that not only looks the part of a true asphalt conqueror, it's plenty of capable of acting like it, as well.

A look inside the cockpit of this 818S will confirm its primary purpose. This is a roadster built for adrenaline-inducing driving, with a pair of aggressively contoured racing seats at the center of the interior that are equipped with five-point racing harnesses bracketing a carbon fiber-clad center console that puts a low-profile shifter within close reach. The accommodations inside this cabin are plenty comfortable, but there's nothing inside these doors that doesn't serve that aforementioned purpose. No frills or added weight anywhere. Just everything you need to take advantage of this roadster's strengths.

This Factory Five creation is powered by a 2.5-liter H4 engine that began life propelling a Subaru Impreza RS. This compact but potent powerplant was thoroughly inspected before its reassembly and installation, and pairs with a 5-speed manual transmission with the same origin that's gained accolades for its smoothness and reliably consistent short throws to make for a drivetrain that's a lot of fun to put through its paces. When you factor in the engine's capabilities and this 818S's unusually light weight, you have a bona fide formula for acceleration and, with its low profile, mid-engine configuration and adjustable front and rear coilover suspension, it's a world class corner carver as well.
