Tuning Ferrari vehicles carries the inherent risk of zeroing their resale value with a single poorly thought-out modification, so few are brave enough to try. We now know that Mike Burrough, from the USA, isn’t just brave – he doesn’t even think twice before slotting a Honda K24 four-pot turbo under the hood of a Ferrari 308.
This means the original 3.0-liter V8 is no longer occupying its place under the hood. The mill replacing it has only 2.4 liters of volume to work with and half the cylinder count, but an extreme Garrett turbo setup enables it to slam the wheels with up to 1,014 PS (1,000 hp / 746 kW).
But, as you can see, the sacrilege didn’t quite end there. Burrough retrofitted the 308 with side skirts and a massive rear wing and put deep-concave, five-spoke wheels finished in bright white inside the arches. If you look from a distance while defocusing your eyes slightly, you might just mistake the result for a JDM drift car. We also suggest all diehard Ferrari fans to do exactly that – for sanity’s sake, of course.
