The GT4586 – Get A Summary On The Ferrari-Powered Toyota From Ryan Tuerck Himself!


The GT4586 – Get A Summary On The Ferrari-Powered Toyota From Ryan Tuerck Himself!

Blazing your own trail is never easy. The results might be worth it, the experience is always worth it, and the lessons learned from the painful sections of the project are priceless, but that only eases the pain of the blood, sweat, and tears that goes into such an in-depth build. The GT-4586, the combination of a Toyota 86 (read: Scion FR-S, Subaru BRZ) with the 4.5L V8 from a Ferrari 458 Italia is one such build, and it’s taken five solid months of thrashing by Ryan Tuerck and the crew at Donut Media to get the psychotic machine together. Sitting on the SEMA floor, you’d never suspect anything went wrong with the build whatsoever. But if you’ve ever built a car, you know that something had to happen, and unlike most builders, Tuerck is willing to not only tell you what happened, but will show you as well. You’l see when they hired an Uber driver to deliver parts in the middle of the night, when they destroyed the hood on a test run, and when the oil tank’s welds failed, hosing the shop, the car, and about everything else within range down with fresh dead dinosaur juice. Calling these things “teething issues” might be stretching it a bit, but the car is completed and we expect to see videos of hijinks involving howling Ferrari exhaust notes and enough vaporized rubber to make any drift fan happy.

    At last – for the discerning amongst I give you the thinking man. For this for those who change do to be different. This is for those those who right. So give us who will never not for it wrong for it right.

    At last we see shall the light – there is not one atom that is called an LS.

    I just happened to look one of these over at a stop light today and wondered how hard it would be to stuff a turbo LS in it. And yes Geordie, it is cool that they did something different, but few people have access to a Ferrari drivetrain.
