From Theft, to Recovery, to Rebuild<\/h2>\n

You know the story: the Japspeed Subaru became folklore after it was stolen in 2011, later recovered, and eventually reborn. Fast-forward to Trax 2025, where the team pulled the cover off the rebuilt Impreza and reunited it with its most famous pilot, Shane Lynch. A few teething issues kept it out of the Drift Kings demos that day\u2014but that chapter\u2019s closed. The team sorted the snags, hit Teesside for a proper shakedown, and the verdict is simple: it\u2019s ready.<\/p>\n

LS9 Thunder Meets Modern Drift Geometry<\/h2>\n

Under the bonnet lives a Wegner-supercharged LS9 V8 delivering around 1,000bhp – exactly the firepower needed for Goodwood\u2019s high-speed sweepers. Beneath the familiar, period-correct Japspeed livery and silhouette, Team Japspeed refreshed the chassis to modern drift standards\u2014dialling in the lock, steering angle, and suspension setup so it runs at contemporary competition pace.<\/strong>. In short: it looks like the icon you remember but moves like a 2025-spec drift weapon.<\/p>\n

Hear the LS9 roar and feel the ground shake at Classic Japfest<\/a> on Oct 4\u20135!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Driver Line-Up & Demos<\/h2>\n

At Silverstone, Japspeed formally unveiled the car and reunited it with Shane Lynch<\/a>, confirming the comeback narrative in front of a packed Trax crowd. Organisers trailed the appearance in advance, highlighting the car\u2019s 1,000 bhp rebirth and Lynch\u2019s return. A few teething issues on the day meant Lynch did not run the car in the Drift Kings<\/a> demos as planned. The team has addressed the snags and set the next outing – Classic Japfest<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The reunion everyone wanted is happening on our turf! Shane Lynch is confirmed to drive, with Baggsy also scheduled to take stints. Expect big angle, fat smoke, and full send during the Japfest drift demos\u2014perfect viewing from the fences and grandstands as Goodwood\u2019s flow lets the Subaru stretch its legs.<\/p>\n
