Three customised Lexus specials for 2012 SEMA show

For its sixth apperance at the the SEMA show in Las Vegas, Lexus brought three customised cars. They are the “New Project LS 460 F Sport” by Five Axis, “Supercharged GS 350 F Sport” by VIP Auto Salon and the IS FCCS-R race car. They were joined by the brand’s LFA supercar and sleek LF-CC concept, the latter fresh from its Paris 2012 debut.

The souped up LS 460 F Sport (launched in Malaysia last month) by Five Axis adds even more visual muscle and styling impact, with a full aero body kit, 22-inch custom wheels with Yokohama Advan Sport tyres, Air Runner TC-5 air suspension a matte silver paint finish with grey accents. This interpretation is described as “no-holds-barred”.

Younger brother GS returns to SEMA with a VIP Auto Salon makeover. Performance is raised with an Apexi CG SPL custom supercharger kit, high-performance Brembo brakes and Vossen CV7 20-inch wheels. The styling package is by Wald International.

Completing the picture is the IS FCCS-R race car that conquered the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb earlier this year in Colorado, where it secured a second-in-class result on its debut (click here to read our live Pikes Peak report). Powered by a standard 416 bhp 5.0-litre V8 engine, this competition special features carbon fibre bodywork elements, 18-inch SSR wheels, racing brakes and a special exhaust system.

    Let me just make one suggestion to Lexus: sometime simplicity can be your identity, for example a simple grill in the second picture above plus a large L in a moderate size circle can be the easily recognisable Lexus signature grill. More elegant. Have we ever seen a queen/senator in sexy wear attending public functions?

    Lexus is a luxury brand of toyota division.if we look back in the 1990s, those JDM toyotas are super sleek..chasis like gx/1jz 90/100 from many trim level such as cresta, chaser, markII, verossa, crown are the most beautiful ones..comes 2000s some of this models have been redesigned with addition of extra electronic and gadgets..this makes toyotas very interesting..
