A drift tribute build takes Han’s orange RX-7 onto Forza Horizon 4’s back roads.

Sung Kang’s Han Lue never got behind a controller, but a YouTube creator built the next best thing. On December 9, 2019, CToretto posted “If Han from Tokyo Drift played Forza Horizon 4! (Steering Wheel + Pro Pedals Gameplay),” a run built entirely around a customized 1997 Mazda RX-7 FD painted to match the orange-and-black Veilside Fortune body kit Han drove in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. The gimmick is simple — recreate the car, then drift it properly using real force-feedback hardware instead of a gamepad’s stick.

• CToretto’s build is a tribute to Han Lue’s orange-and-black Veilside Fortune RX-7 from the 2006 film, not the rival “Drift King” character Takashi, whom the car is sometimes mistakenly attributed to.
• The run is split across two settings on Forza Horizon 4’s Great Britain map: a winding mountain pass and a tighter urban street course.
• CToretto drives with a Thrustmaster force-feedback wheel and a Thrustmaster T3PA-PRO pedal set, running manual drift mechanics rather than assisted controls.

Getting the Character Right

Han Lue is the character behind the wheel here — the laid-back import racer who takes Sean Boswell under his wing in Tokyo Drift and becomes one of the franchise’s most quietly beloved figures. Takashi, the “Drift King,” is Han’s on-screen rival, not the owner of the orange RX-7, and the title of CToretto’s video is built specifically around Han’s identity as a drifter, not Takashi’s.

The Car: Recreating Han’s Veilside Fortune

The in-game build is a 1997 Mazda RX-7 FD reskinned to match the widebody kit Universal used for Han’s car in the movie. That kit isn’t a Hollywood invention — Veilside’s Fortune package was a real aftermarket body line for the FD chassis, which is part of why the look translates so cleanly into a Forza Horizon 4 livery.

It’s not Han’s RX-7 that’s fictional — the Veilside Fortune body kit was a real aftermarket package long before Universal painted one orange for Tokyo Drift.

The Hardware Behind the Wheel

CToretto runs the session on a Thrustmaster force-feedback wheel paired with a Thrustmaster T3PA-PRO pedal set, the same category of gear that sim-racing channels lean on for anything beyond casual controller play — the kind of setup covered in pieces like this look at a gaming seat build. With manual drift mechanics engaged, throttle and brake modulation through the T3PA-PRO pedals does the work a controller trigger simply can’t replicate, which is the whole point of pairing this car with this hardware instead of just running it on a pad.

Two Courses, One Continuous Drift

The footage moves between a mountain pass, where Forza Horizon 4’s elevation changes and sweeping corners give the RX-7 room to hold long, committed drift angles, and a tighter urban street course that forces quicker transitions and shorter drift windows. It’s a deliberate pairing — open-road flow versus technical city driving — that mirrors the kind of environments Han’s car is remembered for on screen. Anyone chasing that same level of visual fidelity on PC has plenty of options laid out in this breakdown of graphics mods that sharpen a game’s look.

The mountain-to-city structure is the whole shape of the video: build the car right, then prove it on two very different kinds of road with a wheel and pedals instead of a controller. That’s the entire pitch, and it’s exactly what CToretto delivers in just under nine minutes.
