Mad Mike Whiddett- Redbull BADBUL RX8 >> Origin SPOTLIGHT


Kiwi superstar, maddest drifter on the planet and winner of more trophies than he can count, Mad Mike Whiddett's freshly rebuilt RX8 3 Rotor Turbo.  Brand new Wisefab and KW suspension setup, and with a fresh PPRE heart and monster Garrett turbo combo, this car will be quick on sticky Nitto rubber.  



Built in collaboration with Tra Kyoto Japan, Whiddett spent many hours with Kei Muira designing the unique body kit to give it a true Rocket Bunny signature look but with ‘a touch of GT3’. Special Rotiform wheels really setting the look off. After many years at the top of his game Mad Mike certainly has a serious list of partners who are involved in his builds including many Australian companies like Haltech, Holinger, PWR and Turbosmart who even released his own brand of signature MM branded wastegates.






Need to hear and watch to believe it..





1500hp+ / 4 Rotor Lexus GS - Block your eyes before they bleed >> SPOTLIGHT



Block your ears and keep watching, this Lexus GS is the epitome of horsepower and creative madness, a car - a machine which in the field just about beating out the everyone in "WTAC Drift Challange" and its screams via a Curran Bros built quad rotor with a turbo on it that quite frankly would look more as demo car for them more than an active masterpiece. Hardly believable that you could take this deafening machine on a truck without getting arrested, it sure to put a smile and make you shout to communicate with the person standing next to you also as a bonus its a flame emitting show. 




 ‘FATBOY DRIFT’ you must see in person to truly appreciate. It is an absolute attack on senses.From the ear bleeding noise of the turbo 4 rotor to the 15 foot flames puking from his pipes to the fact that this is all happening from a big luxury VIP sedan that was never intended to do anything like this. All of this adds up to an experience like no other.
