We’ve been keeping this a secret.

If life wasn’t stressful enough building a 1,000BHP Toyota GR Corolla drift car in time for Goodwood Festival of Speed, we’ve been tasked to build ANOTHER drift car for somebody very special.
But Baggsy and his team always push the limit, they never give up.
With the support of Monster Energy, SB Motorsport x GDA Garage are proud to introduce the Liberty Walk Super Silhouette Nissan Silvia (180SX S13), for reigning Formula 1 World Champion Lando Norris. |

The S13’s striking widebody is the latest design from legendary automotive tuner Liberty Walk, the specially crafted LB-Super Silhouette kit is the very first to enter UK shores.
This super aggressive kit pays homage to the iconic Group 5 Super Silhouette cars of the 80s Japanese Touring Car Championship.
The huge boxy flares, a vintage slant-nose look, that wing and all of the aero.However, it’s not just the body kit that gives this S13 a presence. The powertrain delivers performance to match its insane look. |

Working closely with our good friends at GDA performance, the S13 pairs an engine package with a transmission and drivetrain designed to make car super peppy and extremely responsive – make no mistake, this is a rowdy one.
Powering Lando’s S13 is a LS 427 V8 by Billy’s Speed Shop, producing 630HP and 763NM. A Quaife 69G 6-speed sequential transmission provides lightning fast gear changes so Lando can absolutely send it with ease.
KW V3 suspension keeps the S13 planted with precision, while the custom forged wheels by STRÖM gives a nod to Lando’s F1 wheels and are wrapped in the tried and tested Accelera 651 Sport semi-slick tyres for all the sends. |

“What an incredible project! You’d expect an F1 driver to be behind the wheel of an F1 car… but instead, he’s driving a LIBERTYWALK machine!
A huge thank you to Monster Energy. We truly appreciate your support and look forward to creating even more together.
Monster Energy × LIBERTYWALK × Lando Norris”

Here’s what Baggsy had to say about this project:
“I’m incredibly proud to see the S13 drift car finally unveiled on the Goodwood Festival of Speed hill climb. This project has been a true labour of love, with countless hours spent refining every detail to make sure it performs just as well as it looks – all in secret.
We never wanted to rush the process, so we had our good friends at GDA Garage helping us get it ready for Lando. Now that the covers are finally off, I can’t wait to see Lando shred really see what it’s capable of.“ |
