Update: Progress on the Insane Supra-Based Quad-Turbo V12!
Late last year, we brought you news of a guy who is building a custom, 1JZ-based quad turbo V12 by basically combining two Supra engines together. If that sounds deliciously insane, you’d be correct. We are here to bring you an update on this absolutely awesome project!
Check out this post at /r/cars, where he posts images of the project coming along quite nicely. If you can look past the obvious Fast and Furious references on the post on reddit, you’ll see that his current plans are to put this monster into a single seat, tube frame “death rocket.” Imagine the Ariel Atom, but with metric tons more power.
The truly impressive bit is the man fabricated many of the custom components himself. In the past, when he has needed paint work done on a project, he fabricated a hand-operated Gatling gun in exchange for the work. He has the engineering chops and he’s a gearhead that we wouldn’t want to mess with. We can’t wait to see the final results.
Now, we just hope his life insurance is up-to-date!
