The owner didn't even take the coupe for a quick drive before dropping the engine.

Most engine swaps we've encountered involve an old car or a fairly used one, then given a heart transplant with a more powerful motor. But this one's different – a brand new Toyota GR86 with a 2JZ engine, put under the limelight courtesy of Larry Chen on YouTube.

So how new was this Toyota GR86? Well, it only had four miles from the factory. According to the owner, Jeff Woodruff, he had a hard time finding the specific GR86 for his new project. After finding one, he specifically gave instructions to the dealers to not drive the car around. In fact, it didn't have holes for the license plate when he picked up the car.

After taking the GR86 home, Woodruff immediately swapped its 2.4-liter boxer engine with a 2JZ-GE engine from a Lexus IS 300 sedan. He didn't even drive the car around or for a quick coffee run, which is pretty cool if you ask us.
