Behind the Curtain
1. Key Players
Commissioned by Banditos Energy for Wouter Haaima, one of the standout names in the Dutch drift scene. This car represents not only the brand on the track, but the synergy between Banditos, the driver, and Frank Ricci Design’s disruptive visual language.
2. Craft Process
The graphic composition was built on a bold contrast between fluorescent acid-green veins and matte-black steel textures. Every inch of the 350Z surface was treated like a battlefield: wild strokes, digital oxidations, and embedded sponsor layers tell a chaotic yet precise story. From the hood to the roof to the quarter panels, every element was harmonised into one unified strike of visual impact.
3. Impact (On the Road, Events, Media)
Instantly recognisable from any angle, Smokey Bandit became a fan magnet and a recurring subject on social media and trackside photography. It embodies the wild spirit of Banditos and the visual punch needed to stand out in the highly competitive drift environment.
Smokey Bandit isn’t just a drift car.
It burns the Banditos name into every track, turn after turn.
