The engine is longitudinally mounted, so it is RWD.

That's one way to reduce your MPG by half... hahaha, very nicely done... you can see the cutouts on the hood to make the turbos and intake fit... plus cutting the crossmember in half... I'd love to drive that on a drag strip but never on an open road.

The crazy part isn't that it has a V8, a truck V8 anyway. The crazy part is its "TWIN TURBO" !!!

Wow, that's badass. It would be even better if it were a Celica or tC instead.
