Gaming Factory announced the FSO Polonez for JDM: Japanese Drift Master. The Polish car, produced from 1978 until 2002 with over a million units built, arrives as free content on all platforms in an upcoming update. Three body kits reflect its real tuning scene: rally, bosozoku-style, and a barn-patched Frankenstein look, alongside the standard spec. The game is out on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
Gaming Factory is Polish, and so is the game's protagonist, which makes the FSO Polonez a homecoming of sorts. The car has been a fixture of Polish culture since production began in 1978, appearing in the cult series 07 zgłoś się and on Top Gear. More than a million units were built before the last one left the line in 2002.
The Polonez was the most common car on Polish roads in the 1990s, and when prices fell, a tuning scene grew out of it. Many builds were improvised barn jobs, but some were genuinely good customs. The game's three body kits split the difference: a rally kit, a bosozoku-style kit, and a Frankenstein look stitched together from spare parts, plus the standard spec. The car arrives free on all platforms in an upcoming update.
- Rally spec body kit: for rally courses
- Bosozoku-style kit: styled after Japanese street racing culture
- Frankenstein barn-patched kit: an improvised, stitched-together look
