This 568-PS Nissan 350Z has an engine at the front and dual turbos at the back

Throughout its entire production cycle, Nissan kept polishing the drivetrain of the 350Z, but the 3.5-liter naturally aspirated V6 never went beyond 310 PS (306 hp / 228 kW). The owner of this example found a rather unorthodox way to tune it.

According to him, the goal was to install a twin-turbo setup, but all turbos that fit inside the engine bay were too expensive, so he went for a workaround. Specifically, he put a couple of turbines where the rear bumper once was, and laid out some piping from the back to the front. He also had to install a cooler and an air intake under the rear window to let the system dissipate the heat.

While the build certainly looks like it has many compromises, the tuner claims it churns out 568 PS (560 hp / 418 kW) to the rear wheels, about as much as the new Nissan GT-R. In addition to this, the sports car rocks a homegrown widebody kit, upgraded suspension and new brakes.
