The Toyota Soarer, or Lexus SC as it's known in the states, is one of those cars that a lot of people talk about building, but never seems to get past the "idea stage". As you've seen, there are plenty of high quality Soarer drift cars in Japan, but there aren't many legit drift SC's in the USA. Well, that's about to change. Veteran driver and fabrication master Alex Pfeiffer is in the process of putting together a new Lexus SC300 for use in Formula D Competition. The build still has a long way to go before being finished, but it's already shaping to be one of the best SC's in the USA, if not the world. Goals are for a total weight of around 2800 lbs and somewhere in the neighborhood of 1000 horsepower. Wow.
We will continue to watch as the car gets closer to completion.
