    Honda Element-D Drifting Racecar unveiled at SEMA 2006 show

    Now this is something every car purist would love to take for a spin in a literal sense. Built to compete in the 2007 Formula Drift Series, the Element-D ("D" for Drifting) throws out the stock model's 4cylinder/4WD drivetrain and becomes a thoroughbred through a 3.2 turbocharged V6 that sends 500Hp straight to the rear tires! Don't tell me that doesn't make you think about smoking red-hot rear tires and full opposite locks...

    hmmm, very interesting...if you had a streetable one with a full interior, and the same setup as this one (engine/drivetrain wise), it'd make a very interesting "family" car. mwahahaha:evil:

    i saw one of the new elements last night...it was black i think, (hard to tell cause the sun was setting) with the factory gunmetal rims...that thing was sexy. i wonder if the yakuza would look into this vehicle for a VIP style project...i could see some deep dish rims on there...and the interior is perfect spacewise. hmmm, interesting.

    Well, I guess it's all about originality, right? It is pretty cool to see. It's nice to see something other than a Civic or an Accord every once in a while.
