IMAMURA SHOWS OFF HIS LEXUS LFA SET FOR D1GP
This Lexus LFA was built by Yoichi Imamura for D1 Grand Prix duty this season. What I can safely say is the most expensive OEM car to be built into a professional drift car to date in the world. Rumor has it from reader Lexis King that this build features a TRD NASCAR motor and dogbox in place of the factory V10 engine. This is another pretty wild build to come out of Tokyo Auto Salon after we saw the unveiling of Mad Mike’s Formula Drift Asia RX-7 and Robbie Nishida’s 1000hp Nissan GT-R for Formula Drift Asia. Stay tuned to the website for more builds coming out soon!

I know this is setup for drifting, but in my opinion, way to ruin a perfect supercar.

I like. I understand the issue, but how can you keep a Japanese car stock?
Anybody willing to twin-turbo LFA V10?
To bad LFA was limited production, if I had the money I still buy it over any other car today, but would add the new NSX to the stable.

The only likelihood is the 5.3 Liter V10 from the Code X LFA + hybrid electric motors. That will easily take it to hypercar territory.

That is just so sad. LFA without that F1 V10 sound, is not an LFA.

All I can think about when I first saw this car....
However, I am not too upset, I hate to see super cars become garage queens. Make use of a car in what ever way you seem fit as long as its driven and driven HARD

I called it, this thing is a totaled flood damaged junker, just the chassis is being recycled into a stripped down drift car, make perfect sense.
That explained the engine swap too.
I don't think anyone in their right mind would do this to a perfect example.
