Amazing weight reduction that even racing cars are overwhelmed by

KAZAMA AUTO, which has established itself as a leading company in the drifting field of Toyota “86/GR86” & Subaru “BRZ” tuning, not only in Japan but also in the world, has prepared an amazing state-of-the-art drifting machine that is not limited to the development and sales of drifting-specific parts! The “GR86 Carbon Spec/Drift” won the grand prize in the dress-up sports car category at the Tokyo Auto Salon 2024.

Get the ultimate aero body with full carbon

The front of the car has a slight trace of the stock body, but the entire body is a super wide body of Kazama’s original design. The strength and volume of the body, which is so different from the function-first racy look and looks great on the street, is the workmanship of a drift manufacturer.

The fact that the twill weave carbon fiber patterns on all the parts are perfectly aligned also adds to the car’s atmosphere. All of the parts are designed for real-world use, and the protection of the passengers can be glimpsed in the way that the right parts are placed in the right places.

In terms of mechanism, the winning package used by top-ranked drift machines, such as the 2JZ engine + sequential transmission + quick-change differential and special steering system (Wise Fab), are all in place.

Will it continue to compete in FDJ (Formula Drift Japan) as Team Kazama’s newest machine?　If so, who will be the driver of this machine?　Or is there a completely different identity?　Will it be marketed as a body kit?　Many mysteries remain, but the full picture will be revealed little by little.
