When Toyota"s engineers first sat down to make the humble GT86, they outlined three key elements to define the new creation: no turbo, no 4WD, narrow tyres. Being front-engined, rear-drive and powered by a tiddly 2.0-litre flat-four, it"s raison d" tre is cheap, accessible sideways fun.Unfortunately, EKanoo Racing the same people behind this bonkers quick GT-R didn"t get the memo.The Bahrain-based drag team went to the absolute opposite end of the spectrum by ripping out the engine, replacing it with a turbocharged inline-six 2JZ with many, many horsepowers, fitting massive 10.5-inch rubber and making its sole purpose in life to go ridiculously fast in a straight line.
