Orido Shows Off his 2012 D1 Grand Prix Build ? Toyota 86 with Lexus V8 [SNAPSHOT]

[Wrecked Magazine]

Another Toyota 86 is heading to the 2012 D1 Grand Prix season according to the Speedhunters Facebook page. This one will be driven by Manabu Orido but no Subaru engine inside this one! The Toyota 86 chassis is taking a Lexus IS-F V8 engine and should officially be the first V8 swap in a Toyota 86/Scion FR-S platform. It is a shame that D1 will have three of these in competition while we only will see one in Formula Drift for 2012.

Anxious to see this. I wonder if this is the first application of the 2UR-GSE in a drift car.
