The 1st one had the most Street racing. Toyko drift was literally about drifting which is different from street racing.

How about the other S15 in Tokyo Drift? The one that Sean build after becoming a local drifter, and is barelly seen on camera on the final scene. Tokyo Drift made me fell in love with the S15, both the Mona Lisa and that other one in the final scene. Years later, now a grown up man, I'm proud owner of a Meihan-spec drift S15 Spec R. Such an amazing car

Yeah, those fandom dot com wikis tend to be written from an "in universe" perspective; they're not really aiming to document what the IRL cars were fitted with. So it might be a tiny bit unfair to call them fake news.

I don't think Craig understands that a site like Fandom is intended to give the in-universe specs. It's like complaining that a wiki page gives us the fictional character's biography rather than the actor's.

Real men shift with their left hand.

These cars are movie characters. I like how you treat them as such. Pointing out how they are portrayed in the films vs how they are in real life. The engine detail of this car is a great example of this! Thank you Craig!

That Sylvia is sweet! As for other cars in Tokyo Drift, I can tell you one of DK's 350Z stunt cars was used as a Formula Drift race car for a few seasons. I got to ride in it, drive it and have some fun!

Adam lz may possibly have one. He said when he got it, it was rumored to be one of the stunt cars. He said he couldn't confirm it when he got it. It's now green.

That Fandom comment is bullshit. Anybody who's watched your videos knows damn well the performance of these cars in real life is almost never what the movies claim they are. Fandoms are usually dedicated to the lore for lack of a better term and the lore says it had that engine in it. Fandom doesn't give a damn about real life unless it specifically says so in the context

Mona Lisa is my favourite car in the whole franchise💙🧡

This is one of my top favs, that s15 has such a proper face. Tokyo drift is cool and it's Hans whip before sean destroys it

I'd really like to enjoy reading the text on the screen without pausing every second but it changes like they shift gears in these movies.

Tokyo Drift probably has the best proper built cars out of the series that won't go out of style.

Well I also remember in Fast 4 when Brian and Dom go looking for David Park, when Brian arrives at David's apartment, there is an S15 in the shot from both in front of and behind which in the movie it was reported on David's police file that it was an Nissan 240 with an illegal mod. I wonder if that one was used from Tokyo Drift as Justin Lin also directed 4,5 and 6 from Tokyo Drift. So he could have saved one of those to use in Fast 4.

FINALLY!!! :D .. One of my faves in the series, always wanted to know about it!

Great informative video. I needed this info for one of the next models I'm going to be building on my channel. When this movie came out I bought the mustang kit and it came with all the bells and whistles from the movie. I didn't know much about the engine except that it was shown in the s15. Now I can build the 29 ford roadster model using this engine for a modern look and make it a full on drift car using the wheels and tires that also were on the mustang. Thanks again for making videos like this. I just subbed your channel for potential future research.

Just wanted to put my two cents out there, I don't think that Fandom was saying thats how the car came from factory, but how it was presented in the film. Love your videos.

great video. I'm lucky to live in Australia where you see at least one s15 every couple of days

There was one sitting in a field in Oregon for about 10 years. It's recently changed hands and I believe it may have been crashed by the new owner but I could be wrong about that.

I'm a bit confused. In the movie canon, wouldn't the S15 have been RB26 powered? In real life ofc it was always SR powered but in the fictional world of Tokyo Drift, wouldn't Mona Lisa be RB26 powered?

#55 is in Sweden, it says on the movie vin that it was turbo aswell, right now being rebuild to PRO drift car
