                      Ive heard of porsches drifting before, but I think the point here is professional drift car in a professional series...

                        Ya its the fact that it is being built for nothing other than drifting. Porsches have abviously been drifted before, but ya the fact it is professionally built to do nothing else is what cool about it.
