The 2026 Drift Masters season kicked off in spectacular fashion with Lauri Heinonen’s insane Nissan 180SX stealing the spotlight. Under the bonnet sits a monstrous 358ci Dodge R5P7 NASCAR V8 engine paired with a Vortech centrifugal supercharger, creating one of the wildest drift car setups ever seen. Revving beyond 9,000rpm and producing around 1,000 horsepower, this custom-built machine delivers a sound that is nothing short of unforgettable.

Fans at Drift Masters Round 1 were treated to pure motorsport madness as the supercharged Nissan 180SX screamed around the circuit with brutal power, razor-sharp throttle response, and a soundtrack straight from NASCAR heaven. Combining Japanese drift style with American V8 muscle, Lauri Heinonen’s 180SX proves why it’s one of the most talked-about drift cars of 2026.
