# This Toyota 86 Packs an 800-HP Quad-Turbo V12

Almost every time a new special edition [Toyota 86](<https://www.thedrive.com/article/8843/how-much-faster-is-the-2017-toyota-86-than-a-15-year-old-altezza>) or [Subaru BRZ](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/4172/we-drive-mississippi-state-universitys-subaru-brz-hybrid>) is announced, fans of the rear-wheel-drive sports car complain that the car's 200-horsepower engine doesn't put out enough power and that it's just too slow. We have a feeling those fans might not find too much issue with this quad-turbocharged V12-engined Toyota 86.

The car, which was on display last week at the Emirates Custom Show, has an 800-hp 5.0-liter [1GZ-FE](<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_GZ_engine>) engine, according to the [Street FX Motorsport TV](<https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxqlaTkUUp45DGo3mexxDgQ>) YouTube channel**.** As you can see in the clips below, the engine bay is well-polished and exquisitely detailed with what appears to be carbon fiber and red-colored metal. Man, we wish we could appreciate the attention to detail on this thing in person.

The 86 also has a modified body kit with modified front and rear bumpers, and wide-body kit.

For now, we only have a short clip of the car running, but damn, would we love to see this thing getting pushed around on a track.
