Twin-Turbo V12-Powered Lexus RC F Is a Proper Street Beast
Already potent in stock form, this V12-powered Lexus RC F kicks things up a few notches.
Copious Amounts of Power
As one might imagine, Olivecrona isn't just V12-swapping an RC F for fun - but rather, with an eye toward dominating the competition in the D1NZ Drifting Championship Series. The best way to do that is by giving it copious amounts of power, enough to easily overpower the rear tires and keep it sideways around the track.

Massive Output
Thus, the outfit removed the original 2UR-GSE V8, eight-speed automatic transmission, and rear differential, replacing those pieces with a twin-turbocharged 1GZ-FE V12 that's been heavily fortified with enough performance upgrades to generate an astounding 1,300 horsepower at full tilt.

Laundry List
Hartley Engines was tasked with building this monstrous motor, which features goodies such as forged pistons and connecting rods, an ITB intake manifold, custom exhaust manifolds, and 3D-printed runners, right along with the pair of aforementioned hair dryers.

Fortified Drivetrain
The giant mill sends its power to the rear wheels via a TTi 503 sequential five-speed transmission, a carbon fiber driveshaft, and a Winters quick-change differential, giving the team the ability to easily swap out gears depending on what kind of track they're competing at.

Beefy Suspension
Of course, Olivecrona would be remiss without beefing up the suspension to handle all of this extra power, and has since added a FIGS Engineering Pro Angle kit and BC Racing adjustable coilovers to its soon-to-be-sideways coupe, along with beefy six-piston front and four-piston rear Wilwood brakes.
