BenSopra.com's R35 GTR RWD DRIFT SHAKEDOWN with Taniguchi


What was supposed to become Nomuken's next Blitz D1 machine replacing ER34 4doors,BenSopra.com bought over this R35 and kitted their complete aero parts marked as their drift demo car. In this video ,the car suffered from blown turbos,hence Taniguchi was drifting with about half of the supposed horsepower output.Assume Bensopra's GTR didn't meet with technical issues like this, one always wonder if it was being governed by COBB tuning management instead of Motec M800, much much more of healthy dose of car "dieting",more steering angle setups, driver's seating repositioning etc...who knows the V8 domination might come to an end.This is not a "V8 swap hater site" but bare in mind ,there will be more trends like this all over the world in the near future..Hmm BTW..hows the development going on for the Hankook R35 guys after their 2009 Formula Drift campaign with the VQ motor?...2012 is the year with full of new developments guys !
