Honda at the SEMA auto show unveiled the Honda Element-D drift racecar. Built for the racing sport of drifting, the Honda Element-D racecar replaces the stock 4-cylinder/Real Time(TM) 4WD drivetrain with a custom-designed and longitudinally-mounted 3.2-liter Honda V6 and rear-wheel-drive.

Producing 500-horsepower, the lightweight twin-turbocharged powerhouse is guaranteed to light up the rear tires and accelerate sideways at full opposite lock. Associates from Honda R&D Americas, Inc., in Ohio plan to campaign the Element-D in the 2007 Formula Drift Series. Gallery after the jump…

500hp!!

What I don't get...is how come the car makers dish out such boring production vehicles...when they clearly know that this is what we want?

So if you see a concept car with RWD and a 600hp quad-turbo V12, you can bet that when the actual production version comes out it'll be FWD and nat-asp 1.3L? :D
