Did you know Toyota makes a V12? Here it is, somehow under the bonnet of an 86.

We all know the 86 was built with the intention that it would be tuned or modified, but I bet only the most hardcore Toyota nerds envisioned something like this.

While the 86 might not really be a JDM car in and of itself, this engine is the genuine article. It's called the 1GZ-FE and it's normally reserved for Toyota's limited production domestic market flagship, the Century.

Oh, and this paticular example is quad turbo. Yeah not twin. Quad. You're looking at an 86 with a quad-turbo 5.0-litre V12.

Rumor has it this adds up for around 600kW. The folks who built it over at K.K Performance in the UAE are clearly not messing around.

Take a look at that Lexus-inspired widebody kit too. It's cool to get a taste of what a Lexus-ized 86 could look like.

Here is a video of this monster running. Too bad it doesn't actually go anywhere in the clip, but we'll post something if we spot it in action.

Despite studying ancient history and law at university, it makes sense Tom ended up writing about cars, as he spent the majority of his waking hours finding ways to drive as many as possible. His fascination with automobiles was also accompanied by an affinity for technology growing up, and he is just as comfortable tinkering with gadgets as he is behind the wheel. His time at CarsGuide has given him a nose for industry news and developments at the forefront of car technology.
