It might not have the Ford Mustang GT500’s supercharged V8 engine, but it does have a light chassis and small tires. The Toyobaru was not designed to go as fast as it can, but to allow people to have fun. And yes, it can drift. Trust us, it really can drift!
Jay Leno took the Scion FR-S out of a spin with the legendary Drift King, Keiichi Tsuchiya. Tsuchiya doesn’t speak English, and Jay doesn’t speak Japanese, but they get along just fine.
The odd thing is this Scion FR-S is covered in Toyota badges. Yes, it’s actually a GT 86, and this video was most likely shot in Japan.
While learning the fine art of car control, Jay nearly crashes the car twice. Shows you he’s really trying!
Unlike most racing drivers who come from rich families, the Drift King started low in the underground racing scene. His official debut was in the Fuji Freshman series back in 1977. Yes, he’s that old and has raced everything Japan, including formula cars, touring cars and even NASCAR.
