Hyundai has once again captured the automotive world’s imagination with its latest creation, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N DK Edition. Building on the success of the Ioniq 5 N, this special edition is tailored specifically for drifting enthusiasts and pays homage to one of the most legendary figures in motorsport, Keiichi Tsuchiya, the “Drift King.”

A Tribute to the Drift King

The DK Edition is named in honour of Keiichi Tsuchiya, a pioneer in drifting and a revered figure in the Japanese racing scene. Tsuchiya’s influence extends beyond the car’s name; he was deeply involved in the development and tuning of the DK Edition, ensuring it meets the high standards of professional drift performance.

After a four year hiatus from professional drift competitions, Tengku Djan made a comeback by participating in the recent Drift Competition (Thailand) 2017 at Songkhla Speedway, Thailand. Despite the stiff competition, the well-known Malaysian drifter emerged as the winner of the Class A category.

Driving for the MaxxOil team, Tengku Djan had some tough battles as he advanced through the various rounds. In the final, he went head to head with Thailand’s Davide Dorigo and it turned out to be a sizzler. After completing both mandatory runs, both drifters were tied on points, which lead the judges to call for a “One More Time” or in layman’s terms, a tiebreaker (third run). It was here that Tengku Djan managed to outclass the Thailand drifter on his home soil to be crowned champion.

Speaking of his win, Tengku Djan said, “I appreciate MaxxOil for the support. I am overwhelmed.”

He later added that his win was a culmination of the hard work and dedication from the entire MaxxOil team and without the team and his loyal fans, we wouldn’t have been able to pull off this well deserved victory.

Here it is, the most awaited car in the world for so long and now it comes with drift modified setup for the 2012 Formula Drift series. Ken Gushi will be driving this car with mods provided by Greddy turborcharger along with parts from Cosworth, KW Suspension, Sparco and RAYS.  (more…)
