As noted on FFR’s website, the design is based on the same 818 tubular spaceframe, but incorporates a new removable hard-top coupe design with an inner liner and air duct for a roof scoop, plus an interior bulkhead, power side windows, rear glass hatch and rear glass quarter windows (using DOT-approved glass). Also new on the Coupe is a revised front end with different fenders, and 3D-printed headlamp buckets, and a modified headlight design, nose, and grille. FFR says its new 818 Coupe will begin shipping later this summer, with a target production date of August 1, 2015. Pre-orders are available for a deposit fee of $99.

FFR wisely decided to make the hardtop available as a retrofit for existing roadster versions, so 818 owners can purchase the upgraded 818 Coupe components. The hard top is being offered at an introductory price of $2,499. Once production officially begins later this summer, the price of the hard top will increase to $2,999. As of this writing, there isn’t a final price on the new 818C nose yet, but the 818C kit with the both the new nose and hard top will start at $12,990.
