Some rich French guy bought his R34 GTR with the idea of going a little wild...
Basically he wanted a copy of the JGTC (Japanese Touring Cars) Skylines. However no-one sold the wide arch kit to non race teams..
So - he got it copied - in carbon fibre
No only that - he got all the drivetrain redesigned, completely redesigned the suspension & everything about the car. (rather than the barry method of some spacers lol )
The end result is below...
However - he didnt just stop there because he wanted the engine to be a bit special. So what he thought he would do is drop a V12 Quad turbo engine in it
Now it's actually 2 RB26 Skyline GTR engines welded together to create one big V12, rather than the Skyline straight 6...
Target of a reliable 1000bhp, target weight of 1000kgs. 1000bhp per tonne with a proper race car chassis, suspension & sequential gearbox...
Does it get any madder?

I'd love to see some pics of the engine being built and fabricated...see how they connected the 2 blocks. I assume they just welded the cranks together, and then ran a weld all the way around. :dunno:

that would be a crazy way of doing it. but i know there is a 2.6L V8 in development using 2 Busa engines
350hp is the goal with no turbos and it will be a super light engine.
