WRAP-UP NEXT is set to introduce its all-new drift model, the FR-D7. Back in 2012, the world’s first chassis designed exclusively for RWD drifting—the “FR-D”—made its debut. At a time when 4WD drift platforms dominated, the front-motor/rear-wheel-drive (FR layout) configuration was extremely rare and immediately captured widespread attention. Since then, the FR-D has earned lasting acclaim from countless enthusiasts, becoming a timeless classic. Over the past 13 years, six different FR-D variants have been released, each refined through ongoing improvements.
Today, WRAP-UP NEXT announces the successor: the FR-D7. This new model not only carries forward the original FR-D’s design philosophy but also incorporates 13 years of accumulated know-how and user feedback to create a modernized platform. Approximately 80% of its core components are newly engineered, significantly enhancing expandability, serviceability, and tuning flexibility. While preserving the advantages of a front-motor layout, the FR-D7 delivers even greater handling precision and drivability.
Furthermore, the FR-D7 redefines the concept of a “Conversion Kit.” WRAP-UP NEXT is launching the FR-D7 Core Kit, which, though not a full kit, covers all the essential components needed to build an FR-D7. Excluding only the dampers, rear suspension, and a handful of universal parts, every other critical component is included.
This approach isn’t just a “conversion”—it’s a complete, from-scratch FR-D7 build solution. Whether you’re an existing FR-D owner or a newcomer to the series, you’ll find it thoroughly satisfying.
WRAP-UP NEXT is actively preparing for a launch within 2025. Further details on specifications and release dates will be announced in due course.
