250hp 3.0L Ferrari V8 engine, a 6-speed gearbox from a BMW M3, Momo rims and Brembo brakes.
This vehicle (I’ll admit I’m not sure of exactly what to call this thing) is definitely appealing, a little bit impracticle but appealing none the less, I would like a test drive. My instincts are telling me that someone totalled a Ferarri, and basically salvaged what they had left over, and turned it onto this thing. Eye catching and insanely dangerous, I wouldn’t be surprised if we find Travis Pastrana trying to flip one of these into a dumpster at some point in the near future.
Chris Forseberg is a veteran driver in the Formula Drift scene, his track presence may be one of the strongest of the entire field. He has won a national championship (2009) as well as becoming 2011′s Team Manager of the Year, that is only a glimpse into some of the accolades this man has accumulated in the short time that Formula D has been in existence. This amazing edit by Ryan Davis truly showcases Mr. Forsberg’s skills, and showmanship. The music selected was pretty much perfect in regard to catching the dramatic run he made toward a 2012 Championship. Although Chris finished 3rd in points for 2011, he was only 20 points shy from the championship when the curtain dropped this year at Irwindale. Once again proving that this man can never be counted out, or under-estimated! I have always said that Chris Forsberg is the epitome of American Drifting, an ideal example of what its like to be on top of the worlds biggest drifting stage, Formula Drift.
Stephen Brooks drops his Showreel edit, with a dope remix of Ghosts N’ Stuff, and gives you a quick glimpse of what he’s been creating! This guy is the real deal, and this edit is stunning!
Luis Martinez has been down with DeathMachines since day one, so it is our pleasure to share his brand spanking new ride with the DM network. We wish him the best in his quest for trying to find a title sponsor for this incredible S14. Personally, I really like the “Your Logo Here” marketing campaign thats going on for the Palm Beach Event, and I think the car looks amazing! Best of luck to Brad Hettinger who will be pilotting this rocketship on behalf of Luis Martinez Racing & Kenda Tires.
I have added his email address at the end of this post, just in case you have some room in your budget and would be interested in associating “your” brand with one of Formula Drift’s rising stars!

Whenever I check my inbox and I see a message from my good friends over at Clash, it’s a pretty safe bet that I’m about to watch an incredible automobile film. This film is another fine example of how well this crew puts together a quality edit, giving proper justice to the TAM Automotive Engineering Corvette Team.
