Jaron Olivecrona from Olivecrona Drift Motorsport<\/a> is building a unique Lexus RC F<\/a> for the D1NZ Drifting Championship Series. The team removed the factory 5.0 L 2UR-GSE V8, eight-speed automatic transmission, and rear end. In place of the V8 they are installing a twin-turbo 1GZ-FE V12 capable of 1300 horsepower. The motor is built by Hartley Engines<\/a> using their forged pistons, forged rods, ITB intake manifold, 3d-printed runners, billet valve covers, and custom exhaust manifolds. The new drivetrain will feature a TTi 503 five-speed sequential transmission, carbon fiber driveshaft, and Winters quick-change rear end. The suspension will ride on BC Racing adjustable coilovers and FIGS Engineering Pro Angle kit with Wilwood six-piston front brakes and dual four-piston rear brakes. <\/p>\n
