Lexus has been trying to show a sportier side in the past year with cars like the IS F and LFA. It showed off some new efforts at the Tokyo Auto Salon. First off is the CT 200h hatchback in F-Sport guise. That means accessories galore, including new alloys, a body kit by Modellista, and Recaro sports seats. The IS F not mad enough for you? There were two special editions at Tokyo Auto Salon: the CCS-R (Circuit Club Sport Racer) and Club Performance Accessory.
According to Lexus:
The The CCS-R is true to the tradition of lightweight track saloons, featuring carbon fiber 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 fiber for the dashboard, center 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 tires.
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 fiber hood. Again, more carbon fiber 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.
