E92 M3 ‘Eurofighter’ Drift Car from SEMA 2017 For Sale
At car shows you’ll hear the saying, ‘Everything is for sale, for the right price.’
This show/drift E92 M3 from SEMA has a price, and the build quality to back up the six-figure number.
Do you know who Kristaps Bluss is? If you follow Formula D, probably, and if not you really should. Check out this great feature from Speed Hunters on his first Eurofighter F22, which is an impeccably built drift car based on the BMW 2-Series. Get the picture? This guy makes excellent cars, and from his experience in Formula D, he made sure they’re also great drift platforms. Now he turned his attention, and the efforts of HGK Motorsports, to the BMW E92 M3. The one shown at SEMA 2017 is for sale for 179,000 Euros. That’s a hair more than $213,000 in US dollars.
The M3’s lines get re-imagined as a carbon-kevlar “Eurofighter” body kit. I like it, a lot. In conjunction with polycarbonate windows and a full carbon interior, the M3’s curb weight drops to just 2,535 pounds. That includes a full roll cage built to 2017 Formula D specifications too. In addition to the lower weight the Eurofighter sports a 427 cubic-inch, LS-based MAST Motorsports V8 that makes 900 horsepower.
9000 rpm from a big-block is no doubt as fun as it sounds. Additionally, as you can see, the massive hood bulge isn’t just SEMA eye-candy. Inside the cabin, you wouldn’t know this was a luxury sports car in its previous life. Kristaps knows what it takes to make a car perform, and this interior is all business.
The Samsonas four-speed sequential tranny sends those 900 ponies through a DriveShaftShop carbon, or optional aluminum, driveshaft to a Winters quick changes rear end with a spool. A limited slip is also available.
If you’re wondering why a car for sale has an awful lot of “options” and “available” bits, you’re not alone. Instead of being a one-off SEMA rig, the E92 Eurofighter is the first of a line to be offered by HGK Motorsports. According to the ad on RaceCarsDirect HGK will offer several different chassis in the Eurofighter flavor: E46, E92, F22, and GT86.
