Vaughn Gittin Jr. heads to Niigata, Japan in his 550 HP 5.0L V-8 Mustang RTR to take on Daigo Saito’s 650 HP V-12 Drift Lamborghini.

Daigo took it, removed all that was unnecessary — he kept the Liberty Walk kit, though, which looks bonkers — and started adding functionality to it. Daigo Saito went on anyway. Daigo still employs the Lamborghini’s original 6-speed manual H-pattern transmission, but a sequential might be in the works before the car sees proper competition from 2016. And that is exactly what we`ve got when Daigo decided to choose the Lamborghini Murcielago drift car as his tool for the Japanese D1GP. Aside from a Racepak IQ3 dash unit and an HKS A/F Knock Amp, there’s nothing much else to …
Daigo Saito (斎藤 太吾, Saitō Daigo, 7 March 1980, Saitama) is a Japanese professional drifting driver, currently competing in the D1 Grand Prix series for ATR Radial / Monster Energy / Sunoco and Formula DRIFT USA and World Championship series for Achilles Radial and RDS.
And the pleasure of watching such a jaw-dropping and ultra-fast supercar in the hands of an ultimate drift master like the Japanese professional Daigo Saito, is even greater!

At the moment, the Murcie sideways machine is resting in Daigo Saito’s workshop, with the drifter having barely started testing the V12 supercar. The car he converted was Wataru Kato's Liberty Walk Murciélago (which obviously had a better fate than this one from Taiwan).
