Extreme Drifting in Modified Kei Car, Even Better English Subtitles 【Video】

Kei Cars are a Japanese category of vehicles that are too weak to be considered actual cars, but too powerful to be considered go-carts. They are distinguished by their cool yellow license plates (as opposed to a white one for cars with regular-sized engines and larger dimensions) and are loved by those looking for a cheap mode of transportation. Thanks to some clever modifications by extreme driving enthusiasts in Japan, what used to be a measly 660cc engine putt-putt car has been transformed into a lean, mean, drifting machine.

The video, although really cool, is a bit long so we’ll leave it for you at the bottom. First, please enjoy the drifting highlights as well as our favorite weird English subtitles.

First up, the kei truck (AKA “small truck”). This little guy is normally used to haul iron and other heavy metals for its owner, but is now able to whip around turns on the race track.
