How do you turn a Mercedes C200 into a drift car? 🏁🔥
At Kari Sports, we transformed a Mercedes-Benz C200 into a purpose-built drift car designed for high-performance motorsport.
The C200 was chosen for its factory supercharger and rear-wheel-drive (RWD) setup, giving us a strong foundation for a serious drift build.
To prepare this Mercedes C200 for drifting, we upgraded key performance and handling components, including:
🔧 Hydraulic handbrake for rear-wheel lock
🔧 Welded rear differential for consistent drifting
🔧 Free-flow air intake & exhaust system
🔧 Upgraded intercooler for better cooling
🔧 Fiberglass bonnet, boot and door panels
🔧 Interior and weight reduction
🔧 Racing suspension for improved handling
🔧 Racing seats, steering wheel & pedals
🔧 Full roll cage for driver safety
The engine is also being completely rebuilt to handle the extreme demands of high-RPM drifting, with upgraded wear components, hoses, engine porting and supercharger tuning to unlock more performance.
This is more than a car modification project.
This is how Kari Sports builds a Mercedes C200 drift machine. 💨🔥
