The Ford Fiesta is a small front-wheel-drive economy car. The Lexus 3UZ engine is a highly tunable all-aluminum V8 engine typically found in Lexus GS, LS, and SC430s. Toyota also used it in a GT500 race car. And now some perfectly insane people have decided to pair the Fiesta with the 3UZ. The result is a rear-wheel-drive hot hatch that makes wicked noise and eats tires.
According to another video related to the car, it’s making 337 horsepower at the wheels. That is enough to have insane fun in the car but also keep it within the realm of controllability and streetable.
Skip to about 1:50 to see it make a dyno pull. The audio is a bit wacky but you can get a sense of the noise this thing makes.
This is an excellent mash up and I look forward to learning more about this car. Thanks to @BraapJeremy for the heads up!
