The 2020 Toyota Supra makes for one of the most controversial sportscar comebacks, as there are plenty of car lovers who love the newcomer, but also enough gear heads who feel the design limitations powerplant sharing brought by the BMW joint-venture that brought along the second-gen Z4. Well, here's one for the purists to chew on: the new Supra just received a 2JZ engine swap.
The project comes from an aficionado who knows a thing or two about sliding a car, since we're talking about Japanese drifting star Daigo Saito.
Thanks to the Instagram posts below, we get to see the infamous straight-six sitting in the engine compartment of the A90 Supra - the engine looks small in there, but we have to keep in mind that the full list of accessories will also require a bit of space.
No specs have been released to date, but given the horsepower requirements of motorsport, the monstrous turbo attached to the motor and the tuning-friendly nature of the 2JZ, which has earned the engine's reputation, we're probably looking at a four-digit output.
Of course, the Japanese pro drifter's Mk V Supra is also set to receive other mods. We're talking about goodies such as a widebody kit, which you can see in the renderings below. And yes, the livery for the newcomer also seems to be prepared
Since we're looking at a slip angle instrument, the Toyota also needs to be gifted with tech goodies such as a steering rack with an extreme angle and a hydraulic handbrake.
However, we should get to see the Supra at work soon and we'll return with drifting footage as soon as wet our keyboards on it.
