It’s Formula Drift season againwith driver prepare for the first round of the series this weekend in Long Beach. Last Teams reveal their 2023 carsshowing off livery and builds, which always draws attention to one person: Ryan Litteral.
Litteral has owned some of the best Formula Drift mods, equipping his S15 Nissan Silvia convertible left-hand drive with candy apple paint and chrome reflectors, but he’s never limited. his designs in the exterior of the car. No, he made sure the car’s dashboard looked just as good.
literal meaning debuting his 2023 paint color on Instagram last night, showing off a slightly less saturated look than in previous years. However, his signature red coloration is still present – now with not only flame detailing but also leopard spots on the rear of the car. His three-spoke wheels are back to their glory, looking just right beneath the S15’s wide fenders.

Improve your hair today
The Hair Revitalizing Complex was tested via double blind trial to compare those taking it to those on a placebo. Those on the supplement were found to have increased their hair count by 56%, hair shine by 100%, and a 98% reduction in hair damage when compared to those taking the placebo. If these are the results you’re looking for, you can get a one-month supply (30 days) for just $130.
The true apex of Litteral’s livery, however, is the interior. His left-hand-drive Silvia dashboard is covered in white and bright red, accented with glittered gold — it’s almost the bass-boat finish of a lowrider, staring him in the face as he drifts. Who needs black alcantara when you could have some sort of polka-dot paint-splatter flower print instead?
With any luck, Litteral has improved on more than just the car’s paint. His S15 has become infamous among FD fans for its unreliability, often leaving Litteral unable to compete — its 9,000-plus RPM RB26 engine breaking parts before the end of practice, let alone qualifying.
Hopefully, in the off-season, Litteral’s improved the reliability on his high-strung Nissan inline six. If so, the 2023 car should be a joy to see ripping through Long Beach this weekend, leopard-print paint glimmering in the sun. Just know that, as Litteral hucks it into that first touch and go, he’s staring at something even better — that brightly-colored dash.
