ABOUT

"Mad Mac" is the nickname of a McLaren P1 drift car built by New Zealand drifting legend Mike Whiddett and supported by Red Bull. The MADMAC combines a McLaren P1 body with the safety and chassis of a 650S GT3, replacing the original V8 engine with a powerful, 1000HP Mazda 20B triple-rotor rotary engine. Whiddett is a Red Bull athlete who is known for his drifting and has created other famous drift cars.
MADMAC is a venture with Lanzante, the specialist motorsport company that won the Le Mans 24Hr in 1995 with a McLaren F1, and U.S. luxury car specialist O'Gara Coach Company. Constructed in his MADLAB workshop in Hampton Downs, New Zealand, the MADMAC is also Mad Mike's tribute to F1 race winner, Le Mans champion, team founder and fellow Aucklander Bruce McLaren, who was killed racing at Goodwood.
The concept was to create an audio visual pre release promotional video showcasing the spectacle of both beauty and power born from the collaboration between McLaren, MadMike and RedBull Team Drift.
