The folks over at Hoonigan are no stranger to dealing with extreme cars, and this is certainly no exception. The gang invited Formula D champion Chris Forsberg to check out their new shop, and he brought his Nissan Altima drift car with him. Dubbed the “Altimaniac”, this absurd Altima makes around 1,300 HP (1,318 PS / 969 kW), but on its less conservative tune, that number rises close to 2,000 HP (2,028 PS / 1,491 kW).

The car started life as a normal Altima chassis before Forsberg got his hands on it. He and his team and his team created a custom tube chassis, sent the design out to a manufacturer, then assembled it back on their end like a giant Lego set. As a result, the Altimaniac actually has no structural sheet metal, and all that remains from the original car is its bumper, hood, and greenhouse.

As for that bonkers engine, it was created with the help of T1 Race Development, known for making some of the world’s fastest GT-Rs. First, they took the R35 GT-R‘s VR38DETT engine and increased its displacement from 3.8 to 4.1 liters. They also added a host of billet aluminum upgrades, such as the crankshaft, connecting rods, main caps, and girdles. On top of that, they installed a dry sump oil system and modified the turbochargers, which now produce a healthy 35 psi of boost. As mentioned before, those upgrades make for around 1,300 to 2,000 horsepower depending on the tune, and that’s all still on the stock block.

Apparently, the car wasn’t eligible to compete in Formula D due to regulations involving modification of the firewall, so what Forsberg did was go all-out on making it into the ultimate party car for promotional events, adding a front passenger seat as well as two more seats at the rear.

At the end of the day, the Altimaniac is a ludicrously powerful car, but we’re beyond glad that it is, since it shows a rare side of the motorsports world where you can throw rules to the wind and just have fun. To see this machine in action for yourself, you can check it out in the video below.
