Ideal Drift Car: Ryan Tuerck's Judd V10-Driven Toyota Supra

Ryan Tuerck's ultimate drift weapon went through a protracted build process that culminated in one of the most spectacular creations ever devised. Since its debut, the A90-generation Toyota Supra has become a favorite among pro drifters.

We've seen a few instances using the previous-generation model's 2JZ motor, but Tuerck's Supra pushes things to a whole new level by utilizing a Judd GV4 V10 motor that was used in the Sports Racing World Cup throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s. Naturally aspirated, this engine has a 4.0-liter displacement and can rev up to 11,000 RPM. Moreover, it weighs just 145 kg (320 lbs).

To fit this V10 engine into the engine bay of the Supra must have taken a great deal of effort. The V10-powered Formula 1 cars sound great, but this Supra's side-exit exhausts and sequential gearbox make the vehicle much hotter. Although the dyno video above doesn't reveal exactly how much horsepower and torque the car is delivering through its rear wheels, the V10 is thought to be capable of roughly 730 hp.

Other than the powerplant, this Toyota Supra drift car differs from standard road-going cars in several ways. It has a unique suspension system that allows Tuerck to apply a lot of steering lock while power sliding the car through a turn, for example.
