Monterey Car Week is hosting a truly insane drift build.
Anticipated across the globe by the world’s community of car enthusiasts and collectors, Monterey Car Week brings some of the world’s rarest, most prestigious, coveted, expensive, and exclusive vehicles to the stunningly idyllic destination of Monterey Bay, California for the event of a lifetime. However, this year’s Monterey Car Week is set to be even more special, as the Monterey Motorsports Festival is going to bring a spectacle to the week’s festivities that is a far cry from the prestigious concours and displays of pristine classics and ultra-rare exotics.
That spectacle will be a display from Mad Mike Whiddett, a professional drifter, car builder, and Red Bull athlete, and specifically the MADMAC, a ludicrous drift car created from a McLaren P1 GTR, one of the world’s most exclusive and legendary racing hypercars. With incredible power and dedicated drifting ability, the supercar is turned into one of the most intriguing veritable drifting machines.
The custom drift car features a 1,000-horsepower turbo rotary engine, which will be fired up as part of a showcase of the car’s incredible theatrics at the upcoming Monterey Motorsports Festival. With much of Monterey Car Week featuring displays of some of the world’s most carefully maintained and restored classics and prestigious exotic cars, the dynamic showcase of a roatary-powered, 1,000-horsepower drift car made from one of McLaren’s most exclusive hypercars brings a new facet to the event that is incredibly exciting.
