2012 BMW AUTOSPORT CAR Z4 GSR STYLE

When you think that the drift is just a bunch of spinning wheel young people who have seen too many selections from the library of Fast and Furious. I'm here to tell you is largely a sport, and men and women behind the wheels of their machines on the side of the dance of the thin line between anger and aggressive poetry full of smoke.

I'm sweating my ass in the middle of the Mojave Desert is my first lesson of drifting, and my day a teacher is none other than Michael IT. You're late, it's hot and I'm surrounded by a bumpy road full of extraordinary examples of the rear-wheel-drive Japanese cars in all colors of the rainbow. Plus three shades that I have never seen before.

AUTOSPORT CAR BMW Z4 GSR

Which is exactly what I expect guys? If you are already a fan of driving you know that Professor Issa is the driver's glasses Autosport BMW Z4 GSR. Essa is a professional drifter, who participates in the Formula Drift series with the likes of Vaughn Gittin Jr., Rhys Millen and Samuel Hubinette, among others. Mike is passionate about his sport, skilled behind the wheel, and also able to duck under the hood and turn some keys. At the moment, but I know nothing of this ... because I blend into the asphalt on the streets of willow, and Essa is always late.

Truck to pull it seems, and transporting a trailer full of self arises, who has traveled around the world. The man told the driver that typically comes at the helm machine is now a full-size transport company and its multinational load. He may be fast on the track, but his trip to the desert was a slow drift in the target. Regardless, all is forgiven when he hands me a bottle of water. All is forgotten when firing the BMW Z4 for the first time.

I called a multinational machine, and I thought. The car is mostly of Germanic origin, but also a healthy dose of American DNA and participates in a sport that comes from Japan. The external sheet is Z4, with the exception of folding hardtop, which was abandoned to save weight. Under the hood is S54 inline six-cylinder engine that has been worked by a garage Essa GSR Auto Sports and now has a voltage induced courtesy of a Garrett turbo. The mill produces 600 horse power and 480 lb-ft of torque, which is exactly what you need when your goal is a life beside. These figures, incidentally, are measured at the wheels.
