In 2011 they decided to take a used Ford Transit van and in their own words &#8220;built the world&#8217;s first commercial vehicle built exclusively for drifting.&#8221; They call it the &#8220;Drift Bus&#8221; or &#8220;Drift Taxi&#8221; and it made its debut in 2011 at RallyCross in S\u0142omczyn, Poland. Powering the van is a 5.0 L S62B50 V8 from BMW M5 that produces 440 horsepower and probably slightly more than the factory 369 lb\u00b7ft (500 Nm) of torque. Behind the engine sits a ZF six-speed transmission. The van rides on a Bilstein suspension with Wilwood brakes. The team changed racing liveries in 2017 from the version seen the photos and videos below.<\/p>\n<p><a
