We’re not sure where to start with this one. And even less sure whether it is a good or bad idea.
What we have is a Toyota 2000GT replica that is based on the 1970s Datsun Fairlady ZS30 (better known as the 240Z), which to some people is an equally desirable car.
Now whereas the logical replacement for the naturally aspirated 2.0-litre straight-six may be the naturally aspirated straight six that is already bolted into the engine bay of the Z, creators Road Star Garage figured that wasn’t anywhere near crazy enough.
Nope, instead company boss Makoto Kobayash insisted on fitting the replica with a NISMO prepared twin-turbocharged RB26 N1 six-cylinder unit.
It’s an insane idea and although there are no performance figures you can be sure this thing will be incredibly quick. Which has to be a good thing…
