Coupe VS Coupe
 
Does anybody know the major differences between a FF Coupe and the SPF Coupe, besides the price?
Thanks
:rolleyes:

The Superformance coupe was designed with imput by Pete Brock, the designer of the original 6 Daytona coupes. The F5 is designed around a Jaguar XJ-6 windshield. Built to the same level of feature, fit and finish, the F5 car will cost just as much as the Superformance car.The Superformance car has been documented to go as fast as 206 mph.The Superformance has suspension designed to go 206mph.

Superformance coupe is beautiful. F5 coupe can be anything you want it to be. If you build it yourself you could easily create an extrodinary car for 1/2 what the spf coupe would cost when complete, but having someone else build it for you would be expensive. Two different companys with 2 different target markets in mind. The real question in my mind is are you building or buying?

Thanks for the response, I agree the Superformance coupe is beautiful. I am trying to see a F5 coupe which is already built.
I'm buying a finished car.
Thanks again.

I haven't checked a FF coupe out but think a few of the differences may be in the "creature comfort" area. The Brock Coupe has roll up windows and A/C and while A/C is probably an easily added feature on an FF, it may not be a regular item. I thought FFs were more on the lines of the original "race" coupes albeit with some modern underpinnings. As already posted, they can be finished any number of ways.Look over the car you're considering and then you'll be able to see what the differences might be.

Folks,

I looked at a number of FFR Coupes at Knotts this year.

I was very impressed with the attention to detail in these cars.

The builders have done a great job with the cars.

But one must remember that with a FFR coupe, it is up to the builder to make a car.

With SPF it is a factory build. Already a car.

Here's a sweet example for sale now.

Several Type 65 Coupes have been built with full creature comforts but it's still much more 'race car chic' than the SPF coupe. Both great cars, just gotta decide what you want.
