The JDM sport sedan icon. The JZX100 with the 1JZ-GTE turbo six is a drift legend.

Rear-wheel drive with the turbocharged 1JZ-GTE inline six, the Chaser offered sleeper-sedan looks with serious performance and tuning potential. The JZX100 Tourer V in particular, with the 1JZ-GTE and an available manual, is one of the most sought-after JDM drift sedans, sharing its turbo six with the Soarer and related Toyota performance cars. The Chaser blended four-door practicality with rear-drive turbo power. On WhipJury, Chaser submissions are prized JDM drift and tuner builds.
