The film was shot in various locations all over Malaysia, including Johor Bahru, Bukit Tinggi and Putrajaya.

The film tells the story of Zack (Syamsul Yusof) and Sham (Farid Kamil), two close friends who share a passion for drift racing.

Zack is an elite racer who runs a workshop while Sham is more down to earth and always has problems with his racing car.

The pushers are sent to their boss Joe (Aaron Aziz), also a drift racer who uses race meets to sell his product.

Zack wins a challenge against Joe but falls out with Sham, despite the latter's numerous apologies and attempts to distance himself from Fasha.

A sequel titled Evolusi KL Drift 2 was released on 25 March 2010 with the same budget of 2.5 million ($828,225).
