A custom hood cutout reveals an intake manifold of a 4.2 L <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ferrari_F136_engine\">Ferrari F136<\/a> S V8 from a Maserati Quattroporte. The motor features a cable-driven LSx 92 mm throttle body, custom exhaust and mounts, ECUmaster EMU Black ECU, and retains the factory dry sump. The F136 S is rated for 395 hp (290 kW) and 451 Nm (333 lb-ft). Behind the motor is a <a href=\"https:\/\/transmissionadapters.com\/products\/ferrari-maserati-v8-f136-to-nissan-cd009-6-speed\">Speed Gems adapter<\/a> connected to a Nissan CD009 six-speed manual transmission. A custom driveshaft sends power the factory RX-8 limited-slip differential.
