About the Toyota Chaser Tourer V (JZX100)

The JZX100 Chaser Tourer V is the definitive Japanese drift saloon. Toyota fitted the 280 hp 1JZ-GTE with a single turbo and VVT-i, rear-wheel drive, an optional limited-slip differential and a comfortable four-door body that gave no clue what was underneath. In Japan it was a businessman's express; everywhere else it became a professional drift chassis.
