Someone's Built A 1000bhp Drift Toyota Corolla And Put It In An Initial D Tribute Video
The Toyota Corolla is not a particularly exciting car. The days of the quick T Sport versions are long gone, and along with the Avensis, it’s a side of Toyota us enthusiasts just aren’t interested in. But as you’ve probably gathered, this is no or ordinary Corolla.
Built by Papadakis Racing, it’s - unlike the standard Corolla - rear-wheel drive, and powered by a massively modified Toyota 2AR inline-four putting out an outrageous 1000bhp. It’s now displacing 2.7 litres, and is force fed by a huge twin-scroll Borg Warner turbocharger.
This Formula D entrant isn’t the first unconventional car Papadakis has put together: a few years ago it created an incredible 900bhp, V8-powered VW Passat for Tanner Foust. This latest creation will be piloted by Fredric Aasbø, making its debut at the Formula Drift Long Beach event this weekend.
As a rear-wheel drive Corolla, it seems the the Rockstar D team that’ll be fielding this monster couldn’t resist pointing out the AE86 connection. So, to coincide with the car’s arrival, an amazing Initial D homage video was put together, which you can see above.
The Eurobeat intensifies…

I’d say the grmn is better.
When your car is so anti-social your surname becomes ASBO
From a Corolla iM?
I need some turbo input!
Wow, 1000bhp from a four. Takumi be delivering tofu faster than anything now
Or not considering he’s never attempted more than 300 hp and this has more than 4x the hp his AE86 did.
running in the 2k17 `
what engine they are using ???
Toyota still comes up with a lot of surprises for us enthusiasts. Toyota made the Avensis a touring car and now they built a Yaris rallye car, which will take part in the WRC.
