A tuned build has to look good too. In the world of drift, drivers attack corners with impressive car control—but they must also put on a show for the crowd. Works, a well-known name in drifting, built this Silvia. Its bodywork is designed to impress, with attention-grabbing aero, a wide stance, deep-dish wheels, and decals from major parts brands. Under the hood is a heavily tuned powerplant, with more modifications than can fit in the spec list. The rear tires are set up to slide easily, just right for drifting. This is a classic Silvia brothers-style drift car.
