This car makes me drool TOMMY KAIRA ZZII Cars that weigh only 1500 lbs,Mid engine AWD. can get very impressive performance numbers from a small inline 4 but Tommy Kaira ups the fun with 2 more cylinders and a twin-turbo. The result is a 550 hp monster capable of 0-60mph in 3.3 seconds and a top speed of 210MPH. an orgasm on wheels  like RUF, its made from a tuner/modifier company TOMMY

i think the ZZ and ZZII are built by Tommy. I dont think the chassis was modded from another car, but what i DO know is the engine is a Modified SR20DET

The Tommykaira ZZ is an aluminium-spaceframe midship sports car. it measured at approximately 700kilograms with its FRP body shell, and had an SR20 engine that was fed by FCR high-performance Carburetors rather than fuel injected.
now, the ZZ-II was supposed to be the successor to the ZZ and has the RB26DETT engine and the AWD system from the Nissan Skyline GT-R. the enigne has been bored out to 2.7 rather than 2.6 liters, and as you said, it's very impressive.
The problem is that this car never actually made it to mass production. The Nissan RB26 engine was killed off after the first few prototypes made it off the production lines, and Tommykaira moved on to become ASL, Autobacs Sportscar Labs. ASL is producing the "Garaiya", another lightweight sportscar that's currently competing in the Super GT (JGTC) GT300 class.

There is a plentiful amount of RB motors and wrecked GT-R's but I think the problem is cost. Where did you get you info? Never knew that Tommy was bought out by S.A. though, funny that they still have a web site.

The problem is not the cost, it's the simple fact that the RB26 is not available anymore as a new engine. Since the ZZ-II is not a "Tuned" car, the Japanese transport department would never allow a "New" car with a used engine. Tommykaira is an established auto builder as the Japanese Transport boffins see it, and therefore must comply with Japanese AUto maker rules. No new car after 2002 can use the RB26, 2JZ, 13B, or pretty much every other powerful turbocharged engine that was used throughout the 90's as a source of power for Japanese high-tuned cars, due to emissions regulations put into effect in that year.

Oh yeah, now that I remember it, that is why the Supra, GT-R, and RX-7 were put out of production, because it was to expensive to develop a more eco friendly engine for their aging platforms. But with that said, could ASL just use a TT VQ35 engine from the Nissan lineup?

Maybe they'll be able to convert it to use the new GT-R's engine, because just to have this car end in this way doesn't seem right, nor like ASL to give up on a project.

don't get me wrong, Straight-six and Rotary are the only two engine layouts that I truely approve of.
