Arua (アルア) is a drift team spun out of Duskies, focused on building distinctive drift-ready cars. Founded by Edu and Jimy, the team blends Spanish grit with an underground Japanese aesthetic.
We build and refine our own cars, taking cues from Meihan-style precision and the adrenaline of street drift. It’s not only about cutting lap times—it’s about capturing the spark that makes drift a culture.
Meet the people behind the builds and the vision. We collaborate with photographers, fabricators, and friends who share the same approach: thoughtful design, clean execution, and a love for drift.
Developer and long-time fan of Japanese car culture. Picked up his BMW 330Ci in 2023 and has been refining it since.
Balanced coupe that blends performance with a bit of luxury. Rear-wheel drive, manual.
Developer with a soft spot for Japan. Dailying and developing a Lexus IS200 since 2023, with a build that leans into clean lines and function.
Compact sport sedan balancing comfort and response. Rear-wheel drive, manual.
From a heavier mark to a cleaner, more aggressive identity with reflective touches.
Arua started in 2024 with a different identity. The first logo felt busy and didn’t fully match the team’s direction.
Late 2025, we tightened the brand: cleaner, minimal, and sharper. Subtle reflective accents in the stars mirror the team’s vibe.
We didn’t stop at graphics. We moved into fiberglass work and adapted the BMW front bumper onto the Lexus. Huge thanks to Rodri for the pro fiberglass work.
The refined mark and the bumper swap brought the edge and personality we were aiming for—and it’s just the beginning.
We’re always open to projects that share our philosophy—shoots, custom merch, events, and build ideas. If that sounds like you, let’s talk.
