The Guinness book of world records now recognizes the Toyota GT86 as the car that has pulled off the world’s longest drift. The stunt was performed rather quietly in Samsun, Turkey on July 15, with German driver Harald Müller behind the wheel of a modded GT86.
There is some controversy regarding the consistency of Müller’s drift, but with a Guinness-certified 89.5 miles or 144 km powerlide, he is now officially the record holder for the world’s longest drift.
If watching a Toyota GT86 going round and round an oval doesn’t really get your motor going, check out this gallery of a 2014 modelyear GT86 with the full aero kit. To our knowledge, this version is only available in Japan, Middle East and Austrialia. But you should be able to get this kit separately in the U.S. and Europe, if you like the way it looks, of course.
