It’s been a long and meticulous journey building this machine, ensuring every detail is just right. We’ve taken our time, not rushing the process, and I believe we’ve done an exceptional job. This car is not just a local contender; it’s designed to be a global force at drift events worldwide. The GT86, with its amazing platform, provided the perfect canvas for this project, and the new 2JZ engine package takes it to a whole new level.”The initial release will be at the ST Suspension Booth at Essen Motorshow, followed by appearances at the Monster Energy conference, the Autosport Show, and the Snap On Franchisee show in February. It’s an honor to unveil this masterpiece at such prestigious events. This build stands out as one of the best in the scene, featuring full carbon kevlar from HGK Racing. The collaboration between SB Motorsport, Motorsport 56, and Quinn M-Sport has been instrumental in bringing this vision to life. Motorsport 56 handled the initial fabrication and wiring, while Quinn M-Sport took charge of the dry build and paint. I can’t wait to unleash the full potential of this GT86 on the track and share it with the global drifting community. It’s more than just a car; it’s a testament to the dedication and expertise of everyone involved in this incredible project.”  Power and Performance:Under the hood sits an incredible DY Engine Services 2JZ built engine, tuned to deliver a tyre shredding 1000hp and 900nm of torque.
