For most enthusiasts, drifting brings to mind tuned Nissan 240SX’s, plumes of smoke and perhaps an epically bad installment of the Fast and Furious franchise. Watch this video, however, and all that might be replaced by the improbable image of a bright orange Ford Transit sliding its way around a racetrack in epic fashion.
What we have here is no ordinary Transit. A Polish parts store shoehorned an E39 BMW M5 V8 under the hood of this particular van, then hooked up the motor to a six-speed sequential transmission that sends power to the rear wheels. Click below to watch Polish RallyCross Champion Marcin Wicik turn rubber into smoke with the “Drift Bus.”
