Both models are affectionately known by their fans as "Hachiroku", which means "eight-six" in Japanese. But it is not only in Japan that cars are built that are good for drifting, as a relatively new YouTube video shows that shows a Chinese Wuling Hongguang S drifting spectacularly on a wet road that the driver wanted.
