Supercharged Big Block Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser, a Normal Aussie Burnout Machine

The retro offroader you'll be able to see in the clip below has left its rugged terrain origins behind, going through a bit of an oddball restomod process. In fact, it was more "mod" than "resto," given the slight rat rod look the Toyota.

Occupying the engine compartment, as well as some extra space outside this, we find a supercharged big block. We can't tell you the power of the V8, but we know the company who builds it, namely Australia's BNR Engines, can deliver such units with a muscle level of up to 2,000 hp.

And just in case anybody misses the shiny blower sitting on top of the V8, the tech icing on this cake is a generously-sized air intake that lets the supercharger have its air.

The FJ40 does a brilliant job when it comes to tearing up the burnout pad, with this being a proud representative of the country's smoking vehicles.

As those of you who have a thing for accolades know, it is Australia, not the US, which holds the group burnout world record.

Back on December 31, 2014, the Summernats 2015, an annual festival that's dedicated to putting high octane fuel to good use, saw a whopping 103 cars getting together to burn rubber (more on that topic here).

While the 2016 edition of the event didn't bring a new record, we have to explain the previous title also had a Summernats air to it, albeit dating back to the 2013 edition of the gathering.

Nevertheless, the organizers have big plans for next year, when over 2,000 cars might attend the festival. However, until that happens, we're inviting you to watch the merciless action below.
