'Initial D' Draws To A Close With The Final Stage
True fans of drifting know that the original slideways hero was a young man by the name of Takumi Fujiwara. His drift machine of choice was his father's modified Toyota Sprinter AE86 Trueno (basically, a rear-wheel-drive Corolla built between 1983 and 1987). Fujiwara honed his skills while making...

Drifting In The Raw: Ryan Tuerck Heads To The Forest
This video isn't especially special in the realm of drift videos, except for a couple of very important facts: it's shot beautifully, and the entire run appears to be a first take. Fans of things like Ken Block's Gymkhana are familiar with seemingly space-bending maneuvers with high-horsepower...

Here's What Pro Drifters Do On Their Days Off: Video
Have you ever wondered what pro drift drivers do to relax? When not pitching high-horsepower, rear-drive cars sideways for fun and profit, how do these guys burn off steam?

Drifting At Laguna Seca, Rallycross In France: Foust Lane Episode 6
A lot of people make fun of Tanner Foust. Some for his slightly wooden delivery on Top Gear USA, others for his clean-cut goody-two-shoes image. But at the end of the day, a lot of us probably do it out of envy. As he's been documenting for sponsor Rockstar in his Life In The Foust Lane series...

Street Drifter Meets Curb, Guardrail: Obvious Video
It should go without saying that we're fans of motorsport, including both those about grip and those about slip. But it should also go without saying that you should confine your motorsports activities to suitable environments, like tracks. When you don't, you not only risk your life and the lives...

Drifting The Corkscrew In The C63 AMG Coupe At Laguna Seca: Video
There are a few things in life that really don't require a reason, and converting gasoline and tires into smoke and noise at Laguna Seca is one of them--particularly when the conversion device is the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupe. But Mercedes-AMG gives us a reason anyway. That reason? Celebrating...

Toyota GT 86 Gets Lexus IS F V-8 Transplant, Goes Drifting: Video
Well, that was quick. Just a handful of weeks after its launch in Japan, the GT 86 has already been gutted and fitted with a Lexus IS F V-8 engine for use in D1 Grand Prix drift events by Manabu "Max" Orido's team. It's a classic idea, shoving a big V-8 in a small, light car, but that's not the...

Coming Soon: The Sport Of Electric Car Drifting
Like it or not, electric cars will begin making inroads into mainstream motorsports, probably in the not-too-distant future. Electric drag racing is already an established sport and the benefits of electric propulsion (like peak torque at zero rpm) work well here. Range certainly isn’t an...

Drift Thug Hoons Genesis Coupe Through Hyundai HQ: Video
What do you get when you add a drift-crazy Kiwi criminal to the Hyundai Genesis Coupe drift car, mix in a little humor, a donut-munching security guard, some pretty marginal acting, and a suitably X-treme!! soundtrack? This video. Made by Hyundai just weeks before the planned demolition of the old...

2013 Scion FR-S Goes Drifting: Video
The upcoming Subieyota trio of cars (BRZ, GT 86, and FR-S) is an intriguing as-yet-unknown in the world of affordable, relatively light sports cars. Nearly taking the place of Honda's now-defunct S2000 on paper, aside from being 40 or so horsepower short, the car looks destined to become the next...

Subaru WRX With BMW V-10 = Drift Madness: Video
There aren't many production engines that sound better at full song than BMW's V-10, which manages to simply scream rather than sounding like a truck as many other V-10s do (we're looking at you, Viper). But putting one in a 1996 Subaru WRX? That doesn't sound so great. That is, it doesn't sound so...

2012 Charger, Challenger, Grand Cherokee SRT8 Hoon It Up: Video
When a new car is launched, the manufacturer typically provides the media with a few minutes of "B-roll" footage, to be used for voiceovers and the like. Typically, it's pretty tame stuff--static shots, some two-lane driving, fly-bys. The new SRT brand's B-roll is all sideways and smoking. It's a...

Mercedes-Benz Driver To Attempt World’s Longest Drift
Drifting defines adolescent ridiculousness, yet we can’t get enough of it. The style of driving--if you can call it that--requires a driver to intentionally over steer, causing loss of traction in the rear wheels through turns, while maintaining vehicle control and a high exit speed...
