Lexus press release :
The world’s largest custom car show celebrated the sporting side of
Lexus at the weekend with five tuned and modified cars on display at the
Tokyo Auto Salon.
Even though its public launch is still a few months away, the new CT
200h was revealed in special F-Sport guise, with an array of sporting
accessories including alloy wheels, a body kit by Modellista and Recaro
sports seats.
It was joined by two new versions of the ultra-high performance IS F:
the CCS-R (Circuit Club Sport Racer) and Club Performance Accessory.
The CCS-R is true to the tradition of lightweight track saloons,
featuring carbon fibre body panels, including front and rear spoilers,
bonnet and boot lid, and a new frameless construction roll cage and
polycarbonate windows. Inside there’s further extensive use of carbon
fibre for the dashboard, centre console and door trims, while the racing
details extend to a six-point safety harness and short-diameter
steering wheel with paddle shifts. The car is performance-engineered,
too, with racing suspension, brakes, cooling and exhaust, plus a
mechanical limited-slip differential and forged alloys shod with slick
tyres.
TRD (Toyota Racing Department) has created the IS F Club Performance
Accessory, giving the most powerful member of the IS family an even
bolder appearance with spoilers fore and aft, a rear diffuser and a
carbon fibre hood. Again, more carbon fibre material is used in the
cabin, along with sports seats finished in bright orange. Sports
suspension and brakes, a titanium exhaust, magnesium wheels and a
mechanical LSD complete the package.
Gazoo Racing presented its racing version of the Lexus LFA supercar,
which enjoyed success at last year’s Nürburgring 24 Hours race, and
TOM’s offered a new interpretation of the LS 460 limousine.
