We quite like people who fit ludicrous engines into tiny little cars. Take the Ferrari V8-engined Toyota GT86, for example. Or this Mazda MX-5. But even eight cylinders were too few for one German bloke, who when it came to replacing a BMW Z4 Coupe’s six-cylinder with something a bit more… purposeful, decided no less than ten would do.

But it’s not BMW’s own V10 – from the old M5 – that somebody has mated with the Z4, but the 8.3-litre behemoth from a Dodge RAM SRT-10. That’s the same engine you get in a Dodge Viper.

The Google Translate’d eBay ad’ paints a pretty picture: “As the carriage moves, can be a word to describe very well: brutal.” Right. It says the Z4 makes 542bhp and 553lb ft. The transmission’s a Tremec six-speed manual, there’s a properly serious roll-cage and an exhaust with baffles that open at 3,800rpm. Oh, and the brakes are from an Audi R8. Its dry-weight is a smidge under 1,400kg, which given the bare interior is unsurprising.

For sale on German eBay for the equivalent of £42k, this Franken-Z4 is just two grand south of an M2. And substantially more hairy-chested, no doubt. Worth the money?
