Subaru BRZ with 362-hp, 2.4-liter V8

According to the YouTube description for this clip, the engine is based on two of the 1.2-liter inline four-cylinder units from a Kawasaki Ninja ZX-12R motorcycle. The result is a mill that makes a claimed 362 horsepower and revs to over 11,000 rpm. It also sounds like automotive nirvana. Finished in an eye-catching contrast of bright yellow paint with white wheels and a black wing at the back, the V8 BRZ certainly doesn't hide its performance, either. This video's text is in Japanese, but knowledge of the language isn't necessary to understand what's going on.

Sounds great, and engine looks nice as well, in my opinion . . .

Now that I'd buy. Those cars are small, fairly light, and pretty fun to drive they just need more power lol. Kinda like the RX7 I used to own.

If be more than happy to put that in my garage lol
I personally love the idea behind the brz/ft-86/frs triplets. Small, fun to drive, and light. I've always just wished they had more power. Maybe drop a crate from a hellcat or gt500 in there
