Factory Five GTM.

That's what this car is based on, but it's called something else..

Factory Five GTM.

That's what this car is based on, but it's called something else..

Well I've found this image as both the Mulsanne GT and Factory Five GTM by OPM Customs, but I've found a lot of mention of the Factory Five GTM having the name Mulsanne included as well, so I'm not sure if someone's got that name wrong when listing it as Mulsanne GT?

EDIT: OK, I think I've found the source of the pics, and it has the following caption: "Bill Inskeep of OPM Motor Sports in Tempe, AZ", no mention of 'Mulsanne GT'.

EDIT 2: More, from another source, and no real name other than: "Bill Inskeep incorporated some custom work throughout his build. The most obvious being the more pointed nose."
And from the owner himself: "Hi, this is Bill Inskeep, Mulsanne Motorsports. That was my GTM. It was on display only."

I don't think either of those are the source, which was a sale report stating:

"On the interesting sales front: this 2008 Mulsanne GT, a sports car based on the Factory Five GTM, sold for $57,750."

That's what it must have been sold as so that's what we'll call it - unless someone proves it incorrect!

Since you've mentioned the name I'll give you the point and call it solved.
