Description[]
Drift-Ender is a heavily-modified Land Rover Defender designed for drifting. Its name is a play on the Defender nameplate and is described as a police drift car to keep up with other drift cars.
This design was started initially by former Hot Wheels designer Dmitriy Shakhmatov; following his departure from the company the design was revived and revised by Design Manager Craig Callum.

Skid sideways around the corner while maintaining total control in this distinctive drift wagon that's mastered the art of clutch kicking. It ends all drifts by dropping the mic on its competition, making it the true Drift-Ender™.
