What’s it like to drive a 900bhp drift car? Pretty full-on it’ll turn out, as three-time Formula D champion James Deane gives us a Dunsfold demo we won’t forget in a hurry and then - after a slight delay - lets Ollie Marriage, Top Gear Magazine's Head of Car Testing have a go in his bonkers 2JZ-engined BMW. How does it compare to a regular M3? What’s it like dealing with that much steering lock? Is it easier in the wet? Originally built up from a 320 diesel, Deane’s car has been radically modified to cope with tyre melting angles, drift battles and the searing heat of competition.

If by "drift" you meant trash a 15k transmission by not using the clutch then yeah , props...... You and that guy are both morons and have no business behind anyone else's car. He held the limiter way too many times and is lucky he didn't pop the motor as well. Luckily james has his brother building his engines to last.

@@Danimal_McLeod definitely due. Wheel speed being a factor with more angle, it's going to take time. Good steady input, just ran out of momentum in the gears. The fact he can jump from high horse power with all the aids to this, is admirable. Think the BBC should do the LZ compound, a drift special if you will with the engine options, chassis options and the pioneering projects. A time attack lap to wind down. Car scene is slowly making it's return 👌🏻

@@UKGBManny what a stupid statement. The 2JZ was never as powerful as the stock B58 is the only way one can extract power from a 2jZ is by tuning it to a T, resulting in poor fuel efficiency. BMW has been making sporty/race straight six engine much longer than Toyota which normally make a fuel economy oriented 4 bangers for cheap cars. BMW’s B58 is now used by the current supra if you didn’t know.

Yes I am well aware the Supra shares the same engine, gearbox and interior with the latest BMW Z4 if you didn't know? What a disappointment that was. We should really be comparing the 2JZ to a N54 and we know which wins there not a B58! its a whole new era with a lot more competition.
