Default LS460 Drift Car.....yes.....I said drift car

Just saw this and thought it was kind of cool. You guys might like. The site says its a 460 but it looks like it has LD600 headlights. Who knows.

ENJOY!

I am sure it has more than enough torque to do some real drifting and the suspension looked like it would handle it. Just thought I would share. I know its no D1 drift competition car but still cool to see this large luxury car tossed around

I must say WOW. And I think you might be correct about it being a 600. Cant really see what the trunk says but the front and rear badges have blue around the L. Signs of a hybrid.

I just think its crazy to see a luxury cruiser just sailing along at a 35 to 45 degree angle.
