London -#Battledrift returns with with more power, tyre-smoke and a new drift showdown - a Lamborghini vs a Nissan GT-R vs a custom Baja off-roader. 

#Battledrift2, the brainchild of Monster Energy, was filmed at a dockside location in the south east of England. Daigo Saito, a drift icon hailing from Japan, returns with his drift-converted 484kW Lamborghini Murcielago to face-off against the ultimate drifting Godzilla; a 1043kW custom built Nissan GT-R driven by Steve 'Baggsy' Biagioni.

Third drifter joins the battle

According to organisers: "Battledrift2 adds a third driver into the mix. 34-year-old Californian off-road racing sensation Casey Currie; who brings the Baja noise with his race winning 410kW Pro2 Pro Lite race truck."

Daigo said: “It’s a fantastic project; and I’m excited that Monster Energy has given us the opportunity to make another episode. We had a lot of fun filming the first edit on the mountain roads in Japan, and now the contrast of the dockside industrial setting is great."

Watch this epic battle in all its tyre-shredding glory:
