The Making of RADBUL

'Mad' Mike Whiddett challenges the Formula One drift car landscape with his new project: RADBUL. From concept to creation, Mad Mike walks through the building of RADBUL.

After upgrading to a twin-turbo 26B rotary engine, Mike Whiddett's RADBUL now boasts an incredible 1,200bhp. There's also a custom driveline and cooling system with a rear-mounted radiator.

The RADBUL is outfitted with custom steering and suspension systems to harness its power. Then 'Mad' Mike Whiddett and lead engineer Kaz Townsend talk through the MX-5’s handling upgrades.

It's time for Mad Mike to see what progress has been made on his RADBUL project, specifically in the engine bay, where it’s all about big power, chassis balance and some signature shock value.

The RADBUL reaches the final stages of assembly and is brought to life for the very first time. After that it goes back to Mad Mike’s compound in Auckland, New Zealand, for some custom body work.
