We enjoy all sorts of engine swaps right here at Carscoops but this a single is quite unconventional to say the quite least. Under the hood of this Porsche 928 is the V12 from a Toyota Century mated to a transaxle gearbox from a Corvette. The complete point can be yours if you have got a point for quite weird automotive mash-ups.

The 928 initially came with a four.five-liter V8 that Porsche rated at 219 hp (163 kW) and 245 lb-ft (331 Nm) of torque. The V12 evidently comes from a 1990 Toyota Century and should’ve produced 283 hp (211 kW) and 354 lb-ft (479 Nm) of torque when it rolled off of the production line. That’s a decent tiny bump and thanks to that Corvette gearbox, engagement is higher.

The motor leverages a 3-row aluminum radiator, a custom carbon fiber intake, and a higher-flow catalytic converter also. This point has an MS3Pro stand-alone engine management method to make all of the components and pieces play nicely. It also characteristics a quantity of supporting modifications and other custom touches. That involves a distinctive-to-this-automobile three-inch exhaust method, a carbon fiber front splitter, a carbon fiber hood bulge, and a spoiler from an Audi TT.

The interior is a mix of each original and modern day pieces. That involves seats from a Porsche 911 of the 930 generation and a Hans a single-touch window switch method. The steering wheel and dash appear period appropriate although the gauge cluster is not the original so it is challenging to know what the total mileage is.
