Although it looks like an E-Type, power comes from a 750 hp Toyota Supra-sourced engine, the transmission from a BMW M3, and the front brakes from a Corvette

With both Halloween and SEMA approaching, it's the perfect time for a monstrous creation, and that's exactly what Eneos Motor Oil asked for from drift racer Faruk Kugay. And he really delivered with the Jaguar E-Type 2JZ. Sure to horrify purists, this build actually takes a lot of inspiration from Jaguar's past. For example, the wheels and rear fender flares were inspired by those found on the factory Lightweight racer that was produced by Jaguar starting in 1963.

Even the engine was chosen to respect the car, which originally came equipped with a 4.2-liter straight-six. Kugay actually has a lot of experience with the 2JZ-GTE engine, which currently power his Formula Drift Nissan S14. So he is confident that in combination with a Borg Warner EFR 8474 turbocharger, a Vibrant Performance intercooler, and a Link G4 fury ECU, it can make up to 750 hp . To handle that power, the car gets the ZF five-speed manual transmission from an E36 BMW M3.
