In this episode of Larry Chen's visit to Ultr, we witness the unveiling of a remarkable project featuring a 1979 Hyundai Pony. The team at Peaches, known for their innovative approach to car culture, has taken this humble Korean car and transformed it into a formidable drift machine. Led by the creative vision of Kaisa, the Pony now sports a striking body kit with wide fenders, over fenders, and a rear radiator setup, showcasing a fusion of nostalgia and modern performance.

Retaining some original elements like the headlights and grill, the car's exterior modifications exude a unique Korean flair while embracing a bold new identity. Inside, the interior has been revamped, with only a few remnants of the original design left intact. Under the hood lies a Genesis Coupe 2.0 Turbo engine, now tuned to deliver an impressive 420 horsepower to the rear wheels, promising an exhilarating driving experience.

The project not only serves as a testament to the team's creativity and craftsmanship but also aims to put Korean cars on the map in the global automotive scene. By blending heritage with innovation, Peaches is setting a new standard for Korean car customization and showcasing the potential for Korean manufacturers to cater to the enthusiast market. With a unique suspension setup, meticulous attention to detail, and a commitment to preserving the car's Korean roots, this Hyundai Pony drift build stands as a symbol of the evolving landscape of car culture in Korea and beyond.
