Makes me feel slightly less ashamed about having to occasionally drive a hybrid one.

But only slightly

Now you can pretend youre a pro drifter while silently rolling about on electric power.

This is kind of cool, but it makes me wish drifting had some homologation rules like Rally. At least it does have a Toyota Engine, a 4 cylinder even.

The rules are stricter than you might think. The suspension pick up points have to stay the same and the shell cant be changed much between the strut towers.

Well apparently you can add an entire transmission tune between the strut towers.

Thats relatively minor really. I get very confused about people questioning drift cars and worry about them basically being tube frame. Its all rubbish, people are fine with WRC cars and touring cars and they see at least the same level of modification.

They held long enough for him to win the 2015 championship.

He pulled the motor at nearly every event though.

Very common for FD as a whole. Similar to drag racing really. Big power motors that only last a few runs.

Forseberg and Tureck lasted almost the whole season on the same motor.
