New 1,200bhp 2JZ-Powered Lexus RC F Carbon Kevlar drift car revealed

This is the most powerful and advanced Lexus drift car on the planet. The result of a high-profile collaboration between Lexus, its distributor in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Red Bull athlete Ahmad Daham, the aim of the project was to develop a new, world-class drift car that would stun the global drift community.

And stun it certainly does. The new Lexus vaporises rubber by producing a mind-bending 1,200 horsepower through a vehicle that is an entire tonne lighter and around 260% more powerful than the already high-performance standard Lexus RC F coupe.

It achieves this feat through a combination of featherweight carbon Kevlar exterior body panels and the introduction of a highly-tuned, turbocharged straight-six 2JZ motor from a Japanese domestic market Lexus GS built in the late Nineties.

Interestingly, five-time Middle East drift champion Daham reveals that the influence behind this project was more than just an ambition to achieve world-leading levels of power and speed. Inspired by the skills and craftsmanship of Lexus takumi masters, the team displayed an obsessive attention to detail that has elevated its execution to the realms of exceptional, even within a region renowned for ultimate-level tuner builds.
