Description[]
Mad Mike Drift Attack is a depiction of the 787D, nicknamed the MADAZ, a custom-built drift car built by New Zealand drifter "Mad" Mike Whiddett over three years. The car features a custom-fabricated shell and tubeframe chassis built by TRA-Kyoto and livery taking inspiration from the Mazda 787B, specifically the winner of the 1991 24 Hours of Le Mans and one of Whiddett's favorite cars; it is powered by a 3.3L 5-rotor engine christened the 33B built by Pulse Performance Race Engineering. The car was unveiled at the 2023 Mad Mike Summer Bash in a slightly incomplete state as the drivetrain was still being fabricated; the car is expected to become Whiddett's "flagship" car for use at events.
The initial livery for this casting was done by Jerry Thienprasiddhi.
