Toyota GR Supra

Drift icon car · Modern FD

The modern engineering arc: B58 development, pro fabrication, dyno storytelling and a platform that made the new Supra feel culturally earned.

Built by Stephan Papadakis at Papadakis Racing in Rancho Cucamonga, California. The team has campaigned a Toyota in Formula Drift since the early Scion tC days; the GR Supra is the current generation of that fifteen-year run.

The car runs a heavily modified BMW-Toyota B58 inline-six, the same engine block as the street GR Supra. Papadakis has publicly dyno-tested the unit past 1,000 hp, then walked back to the competition tune for FD trim. The build-process videos became the defining engineering-content arc of modern American drift.

Fredric Aasbo has driven for Papadakis since 2011 and won the 2015 Formula Drift Pro Championship in the prior Scion / Toyota chassis. The GR Supra carries that continuity into the current era, disciplined chase runs, championship-grade consistency and the cleanest engineering storytelling in the paddock.
