Ride Shotgun in a Turbocharged Lexus IS200!
Not many people can say they’ve had the pleasure of driving a cool Lexus IS200 – let alone a super-fast turbocharged version! In this video by Jamie_FYD, you will get a front seat view of what it’s like to do exactly that.
The un-modified and non-turbocharged version of the Lexus IS200 is a sharp and stylish two-liter sports-sedan with a straight-six cylinder engine, perfect weight distribution and in the case of this European model, a rear-wheel drive setup. For some owners such as Jamie, that’s simply not enough, and the quest for more power, more torque, and more fun is never-ending. Who can blame him, right?
I won’t spoil the video for you, but be prepared to hear him hooping and hollering as he ravages some back roads while explaining in detail how this modified car was built with purpose. You’ll get a complete walk-around to explain the modifications of the engine, why there are different wheels on the front than the back, and why this features a diesel turbocharger!
