Daigo Saito’s New Drift Car!

Professional drifter Daigo Saito is getting (a few) new rides for the upcoming drifting season: A Lamborghini Mucielago, Ferrari F-430 and a Nissan GT-R. Saito competes in three different drifting series:

D1 Grand Prix (Japan)

Formula Drift USA

Formula Drift Asia

The photo of the Lambo – which has been customized by Liberty Walk Performance – was released on Instagram. Info via his Facebook account suggests the Lamborghini will be used for the D1 Grand Prix, the F-430 will be used for Formula Drift Asia and he’ll use the GT-R to compete in Formula Drift USA.

We saw Saito in the Achilies Radial Lexus SC in Montreal last year when he competed in the Formula Drift Canada event at Autodrome St-Eustache.

We are decided to drive Lamborgini at D1 drift in Japan. Our driver is Daigo Saito. Kato will challenge the world's first midship engine. All the news has been depressing lately. I want to bring more energy with my LB★Works custom car!!
