A Ferrari 458 Powered Toyota GT86 was made and driven by world-known American professional drifting driver, Ryan Tuerck, on Christmas eve, showing us how to really celebrate Christmas. Watch the tire-burning awesome alternative to Santa's sleigh, the Toyota GT86, on the video here.
Tuerck and his crew started building the Toyota GT86 to mount the atmospheric V8 block of the Ferrari 458 back in July. This engine will give the Toyota GT86 more power, as originally, it could only reach around 200 hp but the Ferrari engine can develop 560 hp in California and reaches 605 hp in the 458 Speciale.
It was not an easy task to transform the Toyota GT86. And not only for the space, but for all the electronics and other secondary components, passing the engine from the position for which it was conceived, the rear central, to the front. One of the solutions was to place leaks on the front of the car. The gearbox is also not that of the Ferrari, but a five-speed that had to be adapted with great care.
There was also a study of the chassis. It had to make space in the engine vain for the voluminous V8 which is double the size of the original. The result has been excellent, and the modified Toyota GT86 is part of Ryan Tuerck's Christmas e-card this year, according to Jalopnik.
The Ferrari 458 Powered Toyota GT86 is now covered in Christmas lights with a matching red reindeer nose, sounds amazing and shoots fire out from under the engine. A perfect way to wish people "Happy Holidays" from Tuerck, according to CarScoops. Watch the video below to get into the joyous Christmas spirit.
Toyota has confirmed the arrival of the new Toyota GT86 in 2018 or 2019 at the latest. The directors of the Japanese company have decided to give continuity to this fun sport with 200 hp and a very light weight.
