A Drift-Spec Lexus LFA Is Predictably Awesome
Yoichi Imamura's D1GP LFA runs a Nascar V8 chucking 1000bhp rearwards
On the face of it, chucking away the mighty V10 found under the bonnet of the Lexus LFA and replacing it with a Nascar-sourced V8 sounds more than a little bit heinous. However, according to Car Scoops, this LFA was apparently written off by floodwater and destined for the scrapheap.
It’s been saved and turned into pro-drifter Yoichi Imamura’s incredible new ride, which you can see in action here. The TRD Nascar V8 engine sends 1000bhp to the rear wheels via a manual gearbox.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.
