The Toyota 2JZ family of 3.0-liter inline-six engines is famous for its robustness, and that lets tuners push the output to ludicrous levels. We don’t generally see front-wheel-drive vehicles using this powerplant, but this heavily modified Toyota Starlet making over 1,000 horsepower proves it’s possible, and the results can be fantastic.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even a brief glimpse shows that this Starlet and its engine are far from stock. For example, the body has a significantly widened front track, and big, slick tires fit into the broadly flared fenders.<\/p>\n
The 2JZ engine looks like a perfect fit between the shock towers. A huge turbo is directly behind the powerplant, and a stubby exhaust sticks out of the hood. The car uses a dogbox transmission that allows for quick shifts without using the clutch.<\/p>\n
Team \u00d8.G.T from Denmark owns this Starlet. The crew shipped it to Malta to compete in the\u00a0MDRA Finals. This video captured the car’s impressive performance there.<\/p>\n
While front-wheel-drive vehicles usually suffer on the drag strip, this Starlet is dialed-in. Team \u00d8.G.T’s best quarter-mile attempt in Malta had the little Toyota clocking a time of 9.123 seconds at 169.21 mph (check out the timing slip below). The car also completed several other runs in the nine-second range.<\/p>\n
