PROJECT FILE

Larry is what happens when a Japanese drift platform is rebuilt around modern German power. The S15 project combines a BMW S58 twin-turbo engine, modern drivetrain components and BMW electronics with fabricated motorsport structures and drift-specific chassis development.

The public build file separates known configuration from proposed work. Final component brands, power, dates and competition history remain unconfirmed until the car is measured and documented.
