Honda Element-D Drifting Racecar @ 2006 SEMA

Press Release:

Honda Element-D

The Honda Element-D ("D" for drifting) racecar shows what can happen when enthusiastic Honda associates raid the company parts bin. Built for the racing sport of drifting, the Honda Element-D racecar replaces the stock 4-cylinder/Real Time™ 4WD drivetrain with a custom-designed and longitudinally-mounted 3.2-liter Honda V6 and rear-wheel-drive. Producing 500-horsepower, the lightweight twin-turbocharged powerhouse is guaranteed to light up the rear tires and accelerate sideways at full opposite lock. Associates from Honda R&D Americas, Inc., in Ohio plan to campaign the Element-D in the 2007 Formula Drift Series.

Eh. The performance is awesome, but would be better if it was on some car more suitable for this, not the Element.

The drivetrain swap itself is badass, but as drifting is the sole reason behind the creation of this vehicle...

That thing just lowered the standard of a "Racecar". So stupid. Drifting isn't even racing, anyways.
