HOT ROD Drag Week 2025 once again put the toughest street cars in the country to the test. Over five days and more than 600 miles, racers had to prove they could drive their cars on the street and still lay down serious numbers at the track. From six-second Unlimited cars to 10-second cruisers, the competition was stacked. In the end, Ned Dunphy’s 3,000-hp Dodge Viper was the best of the field, averaging 6.17 at 247 mph to set a new record and lock down the title of America’s Fastest Street Car.

It’s a fully electric AE86 with a manual transmission — real shifts, clutch, and simulated 4A-GE sound. Joining the hosts, Kenji Arai (Lexus Electrified Chief Engineer) and Toshi Hayama (JDM legend) reveal how this one-off EV keeps the analog spirit of the 1980s drift icon alive — and what it means for the future of fun-to-drive electric cars.
