Toyota did a great job by putting out the back-to-basics GT 86 coupe, a true driver’s car following the oldschool recipe involving a big engine at the front, power at the back and a manual transmission in the middle.
Despite all of these and the affordable price it comes with, the GT 86 is considered by a wide group of fans a bit underpowered, with the 2-liter 200 hp horizontally-opposed engine needing more power to properly shred those rear tires.
While most enthusiasts turned to aftermarket tuners, fitting the stock engine with a belt driven supercharger, some took a different route and ditched the flat-four with a classic 2-JZ engine straight from a Toyota Supra, upgrading that for much more power.
However, some might consider a 2-JZ sounding like a ricer, therefore found another alternative - a V8 engine, as you can see in the picture above. This owner apparently chose to fit his 86 with another 8, but coming from GM in a V shape. Would really love to hear that roaring on a track.
