The Drift Cayenne was created for Deaf Bonce. The latter is an audio company that specialises in head-rattling speakers. They commissioned the Drift Cayenne as a mobile billboard for their brand. Andrey Musienko is responsible for wrestling this monster. He is a Ukraine-born pro drifter who is now based in Canada.

The Drift Cayenne has undergone a few major changes. Firstly, a Chevy LS2 engine takes the place of the standard Porsche unit. A supercharger helps the 6,0-litre V8 to produce extra torque from low down. Reports suggest the engine is good for about 400 kW. The engine features additional cooling.

Other mechanical changes include a manual transmission, in place of the standard auto’, and a hydraulic handbrake to whip out the tail of the SUV. The workshop responsible for its creation also installed a set of suspension arms that allows for more steering angle. The car rides on 22-inch Rotiform alloys.
