Drift Tech

The Drift Tech is an original design by Eric Tscherne that debuted under the Teku segment of the AcceleRacers series, depicting a technologically modified SUV with 400 HP, a transverse twin engine with drive-by-wire engine synchronization, and 22" wheels. This model was retooled in 2016 with a body-molded spoiler and other small changes. Drift Tech was not featured in the Hot Wheels: AcceleRacers film series. However, according to the AcceleRacers Virtual Car Gallery, it is driven by an unknown Teku member.
