This video from Larry Chen introduces us to Farooq, a man who has built a truly remarkable drift car for the Ineos booth. This is not his first rodeo, as he has previously built two other cars for them. But this one, oh boy, this one is something special. It's a Jaguar E-Type, a British racing icon, but with a twist. Farooq has taken this classic beauty and given it a Japanese heart - a 2J engine, to be precise.
Now, you might be wondering, why would anyone do such a thing? Well, according to Farooq, the goal of this project is to combine cars with racing heritage with Japanese power plants. And let me tell you, it works. The E-Type with its sleek lines and timeless design, now equipped with a 2J engine, is a match made in automotive heaven.
But it's not just the engine that has been modified. Farooq has gone all out with a custom wide body, giving the car a more aggressive stance. The front and rear ends have been tweaked to perfection, with the headlights and taillights being backdated for a more classic look. The result is a car that turns heads wherever it goes.
Under the hood, the 2J engine roars to life, producing a whopping 750 horsepower. This beast of an engine is paired with a ZF transmission from an E36 M3, ensuring that power is delivered to the wheels with precision. And speaking of wheels, the car is fitted with Rotaform wheels and Bridgestone tires, completing the aggressive look.
Inside the car, you'll find Tillet seats, providing both comfort and support for those intense drift sessions. The interior has been cleaned up and custom pads have been added to enhance the overall aesthetic. And let's not forget the IRP shifter, adding a touch of style to the cockpit.
In conclusion, Farooq has created a masterpiece with this Jaguar E-Type drift car. It's a fusion of British elegance and Japanese power, resulting in a car that is both beautiful and beastly. This is a car that demands attention and respect, and it's clear that Farooq has poured his heart and soul into this project. Bravo, Farooq, bravo.
