ENDLESS POWER: 1200 HP STREET LEGAL GT-R

Drag racing in Japan may have taken a back seat to drifting and time attack, but it’s far from dead. Shops like Endless have been catering to the drag scene for decades and continue to come up with incredible builds like this 1200 HP BNR32 featured in this video by Luke Huxham. Coolest thing about this car is the fact that, despite packing over four times the original stock power, it’s street legal and driven to and from the drag strip. Hit play to find out more…

AUTOHAUS: RWB INVADES THAILAND

When Nakai-san got started working on Porsches over a decade ago, little did he know what his vision was going to create.

THE VOLKLINGER S14 SILVIA

Satomi Nakawatase’s S14 is unlike any Silvia you have ever seen before. The car has evolved over the last couple of years from an interesting military themed project into something that words can literally not describe. The last time I saw it, Satomi had replaced the side glass with metal sheets and made a removable tank-like cover for the windscreen. What really makes this ichi-yon special however is that it’s driven and drifted on a regular basis, not just a bizarre creation to wow people at shows. To find out more hit play and watch this film put together by Luke Huxham…

THE BUNNIED BRZ: BEE☆R’S NEW DRIFT CAR

Early last year Imai-san, the man behind Bee☆R, decided that it was time to start getting behind the wheel of a drift car. Building and managing a successful D1 team for a decade had led him to cultivate quite the urge to try the sideways thing for himself and after spending 2011 practicing in his 180SX and his turbo AE86, he stepped his game up and began building the car you see here. I’ve got a feature on this ZC6 coming up soon, but for now hit play and enjoy…
