DD2.JZ - A Recap
BACK TO OVERVIEWA milestone has been achieved. The engine swap of the 2JZ GTE Toyota engine into the Bavarian hull has been successfully accomplished and the team around Christian Haderer, the DD2.JZ Beast's mastermind, has managed to successfully complete one of the major phases.
At the 2017 IAA many rumours were confirmed. BMW is definitely launching a new version of the Z4. Toyota, on the other hand, has kept a lid on things. The disguised prototype of the new Supra version has hardly been sighted up until now, which makes things even more interesting, and Dotz is far from shunning the comparison.
The powertrain & heart
The front cut came end of June, and Christian Haderer experienced a sheer firework of happiness hormones. As an aficionado and owner of two Toyota Supras, the 2JZ GTE engine is the next logical step to make this project car come true. The BMW engine must make way for the Japanese powertrain, however, before that can happen the appearance of the 2JZ aggregate must get a facelift.
