Drift Car of the Year 2021

Ben’s S14a is a real fusion of ideas, taking a desirable model and transplanting in an entirely different and equally desirable powerplant to create something unique. The S14 was the sixth-generation Nissan Silvia; the ‘kouki’ facelift in 1996 brought in an angrier looking face which makes it perfect for motorsport builds, simply because it looks kinda terrifying in your rear-view mirror. Under the bonnet we find a 2JZ, the 3.0-litre twin-turbo straight-six best known for its appearance in the Mk4 Toyota Supra. This turbocharged 24-valve DOHC can kick out insane power on stock internals, and Ben’s fully exploited that. The motor’s now putting out 500bhp thanks to its 1,050cc ASNU injectors, FMIC intake manifold and thick intercooler, custom exhaust manifold with full 3” system, 45mm Turbosmart external wastegate and Link FuryX ECU. All of those rampaging horses are deployed effectively courtesy of BC Racing coilovers, a Wisefab lock kit and Skyline brakes. A devastatingly capable drift weapon that just keeps on getting better and better.
