Why Buy a Factory Built 5EXi ?
Although the 5EXi was conceived as self-build sports racer from the ground up, there are many reasons why someone would choose to buy a fully, or partially built 5EXi from the Marlin factory…

In this hectic world time is often very precious and although many would crave an individually crafted sportscar - especially tailored to their own specific needs and tastes. For some, finding the time to build a whole car from scratch, or develop the necessary skills, is often not a practical option.

Also if your intended use is primarily for racing or track days, we already have expertise, specialist equipment and the invaluable experience gained from setting up and racing our own 5EXi's.

…and of course for some, there are times when only factory built by specialists will suffice! Which is why we offer a variety of build service options.

Factory Built - Turnkey Sportscars
Marlin have been building high performance bespoke turn-key sportscars at their factory for over fifteen years.

Our wide experience in this area comes from 26 years of sports and race car engineering expertise and spending quality time with each customer to analyse specific individual requirements.

Bespoke tailoring means - almost limitless body / interior colour combinations, a multitude of trim and style options and if you want something really unique, Marlin can create it!

This also applies to engine, transmission, wheels and tyres too. Cars can either be built with all new components, or with the option of a customer supplied - or Marlin reconditioned engine, for those who wish to maintain a keener price!

Individually Crafted
At Marlin we are proud of the fact that no two cars which leave the factory are ever the same - and that's because no one 5EXi owner has the same driving style, tastes and preferences as another.

We start with discussing what looks like a deceptively simple set of options - Engine preference and how much power? What colour would you like? What instruments and where would you like them located? Which style of steering wheel and gear lever? Even whether you want automatic* or manual transmission?

We then check how tall you are and your preferred driving stance. We even enquire as to your partner's preferences …just in case you may want to share it!

Armed with this information, we now put together a detailed build sheet for our craftsmen, allowing them to create a perfect reflection of each customers own specific needs, desires and personal requirements. - To make for your total driving pleasure.

** If your final intention is solely for race and track use, and you would like Marlin to set it up for racing. It would be wise to build the car advising Marlin of your intention, to receive advice on the best options regarding springs, dampers, wheels and tyres, etc., as this will save both time and money.
