Shivneel Prasad, a 27-year-old accountant from Auckland, has always had a passion for Japanese all-wheel-drive turbocharged cars. He has owned several impressive performance cars in the past, including three Evo Xs and a GT-R R35. All having something in common, it’s evident that Shivneel likes getting the power to the ground and propelling forward as quickly as possible. However, it was the Evo X platform that captured his heart yet again, and inspired him to embark on a one-of-a-kind build to achieve his dream of creating one of the fastest and most unique Evo Xs in New Zealand.
Last year, Shivneel made the decision to part ways with his beloved GT-R R35 and instead purchased a black 2009(DMS) to commence an extensive project with its team—expert at modifying a certain type of transmission, but more on that later.
