The unique drift car uses parts from a McLaren P1 GTR and a 650 GT3 racecar

MadMac is a McLaren-based drift hypercar created by Mad Mike Whiddett in collaboration with Lazante. The heavily modified McLaren has a drift-specific chassis setup and is powered by a Mazda 20B three-rotor engine. The unique build was unveiled at Goodwood , after only 100 days of development. New Zealander Mad Mike Whiddett revealed his latest - and probably craziest - project at this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed.

McLaren's original twin-turbo V8 has been swapped for a heavily tuned turbocharged Mazda 20B engine with three rotors. This change required a lot of work, some cutting into the frame, and plenty of custom-fabricated parts. https://youtu.be/4zS4oGFK86Q?si=swDKY5Pc1dL5z1XI In the end, the crazy-sounding powertrain delivered 944 hp on the dyno, which is more than enough to smoke the rear tires of the McLaren in a single lap.
