As we continue to plow through photos from this past weekend at Formula D Road Atlanta I would like to take a minute to sit back and share this bad-ass Silvia S15 with everyone. Formula D’s main event was held this past Saturday, but Friday consisted of the top 32 qualification for Saturday’s battle. When all was said and done with the qualifiers, the top 32 professional drivers got to go at it, literally, for 2 hours on the track at night for a practice session. It was truly an awesome experience because the character of the cars change COMPLETELY once the sun passes the horizon. One car that expresses its character in such a drastic way in the heat of the night is Michihiro Takatori’s Drift Emporium S15. Aside from wild supercharged Titan V8 that is jammed in that bay, take a look at this brilliant chameleon paint job. Damn this is gangster!
From Gold..
I only had one chance in this lighting to catch the various changes in the paint as this car raced by. Displayed below is six different shades of the paint through the night light, however there was easily 10+ colors. I just didn’t get them all. For all of the hardparkers out there, this is how chameleon paint should work.
Cooling Off
Is that Green?

Goodbye Gold
Hello Green!
Now if that isn’t an awesome chameleon job, I don’t know what is. Amazing! If these photos gave you the whining sound of that supercharger and rumble of that massive V8 under that hood, you would definitely need a change of undies. Stay tuned for the rest!
