Tyre-murdering 1,000 HP Nissan GTR of Daigo Saito (video)
Formula Drift and D1GP together have secretly transformed subtle cars into powerhouse racers. Where a stock Nissan Silvia S15 would max out at 260 HP, these platforms have prompted participants to boost their cars over to a thousand horsepower. The Formula Drift Champion of 2012 Daigo Saito has a garage full of mad builds. If you think his 2JZ turbo 1,000 HP Lexus SC430 was not mental enough, you are in for a treat with his latest hobby- a Nissan R35 GTR with over a 1,000 tyre torturing horse power. The first of its kind GTR in championship drifting.
The HKS tuned Nissan GTR has a dog box, larger turbos and intercooler and a wicked suspension set up of Hipermax with Motec electronics. The rear aero wing almost makes the car look like a dragster. To add on to the dragster appeal, the GTR is stripped of non-essentials and carbon fiber interior-ed. Click the video for a smoky run of Daigo Siato's eccentric build for the 2015 season. Caution: He is a pro drifter and his GTR is loud. Very loud.
