Revealed – The Cars In JDM: Japanese Drift Master’s Upcoming ‘Made in USA’ DLC

Gaming Factory has been teasing the upcoming ‘Made in USA’ DLC, and as you probably guessed, they’re breaking away from the usual tradition.

For the first time, it’s stepping beyond its JDM roots to bring American muscle into the mix. The DLC is scheduled to release in November 2025, although the exact date is yet to be confirmed.

Until now, JDM has focused purely on the Japanese tuning culture, but they’re ready to expand by adding a selection of America’s finest heavyweight rear-wheel drive tire shredders, along with their big-displacement engines.

Although they’ve secured an impressive selection of Japanese licenses, it’s more of a ‘guess the cars’ situation this time around, as these US additions remain unlicensed. How many can you figure out?

Don’t panic if you’re struggling, as we’ve done the hard work for you. Based on their names, combined with the teaser showing all the cars (with some barely visible due to the shallow depth of field) in the background, we’re pretty sure we’ve already figured them out.

All the ‘Made in USA’ cars revealed

Here are the six real-world, (far more recognizable) names of the cars arriving with the DLC pack:

Ironvale Thunderbolt T40

You’ll soon realize that each of these names drops a hint – some more than others. For this one, it’s the ‘T40’, referring to the Ford GT40.

Ironvale Stallion ’69

If “Stallion” and the ’69 model year aren’t good enough giveaways, we’ve got a close-up first look confirming it’s the 1969 Ford Mustang.

Taipan

This was more challenging, but once you realize ‘Taipan’ is a venomous snake, it becomes clearer – it’s the Dodge Viper (expected to be a Gen 2 GTS).

Delray Vanquisher TR

This one’s the most difficult to make out, but zooming in, it looks to be a Chevrolet Impala SS. Maybe a ’70s Plymouth GTX, if not.

Delray Venom

More snake-y vibes with ‘Venom’, and once you see the design, it’s clearly the AC Shelby Cobra (427).

Falcon HellFeather

‘Hell’ is the hint here, but given they’ve also revealed a close-up for this in the promo materials, it leaves no question that it’s the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat.

They also come with ‘unique tuning parts’

The Gaming Factory team confirmed that 30 unique tuning parts are arriving for the muscle cars listed above. They stated these parts are “designed to dominate the track and turn heads wherever you go”, so expect a mix of performance and styling upgrades.

Currently, this is all that has been confirmed regarding the DLC. However, the team also just rolled out another major overhaul for the game with the free v1.7.0 update.

Given that they’ve been consistently rolling out patches and updates, we wouldn’t be surprised if we see more changes before the DLC releases.

You can add the ‘Made in USA’ DLC to your Steam wishlist now. If you haven’t already purchased JDM: Japanese Drift Master, now could be the perfect time with 30% off on Steam until 6 October.
