Classic cars that pack a huge punch under their hood have always caught our attention. Mean V8s sneakily firing in an old car and releasing hell on wheels when the stoplight goes green is a nice way to leave Mercedes and BMW owners speechless.
This is just one of those cars worth to take a look at. It is an old Toyota AE 86, also known as a Corolla Levin, doesn’t look too flamboyant on the outside wearing just some lip spoilers and side skirts and a set of seven double-spoked rims.

The surprise comes after you lift that black bonnet and discover a 4-liter V8 engine borrowed from a 2000 Lexus LS 400 which seemed not to be needing it anymore. And it doesn’t stop here, as you can see it has a twin turbocharger induction system and a custom polished intake.
