The car is owned by Henrik Karlsson and built by <a href=\"http:\/\/pure-pf.com\">Pure Performance Factory<\/a> in Krylbo, Sweden. It features a fiberglass and carbon fiber Z4 body on a custom tube chassis. The engine is a RB26 inline-six with a Precision 7675 Gen 2 turbocharger estimated to make close to 1,200 horsepower which goes to all four wheels thanks to a Nissan GTR 4WD drivetrain.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\"
