interesting, I wonder what a huge super charger like that would do to the hybrid drive. Wonder if it changes the programming at all

And the MPG, that's gotta go to trash, too, I'll bet.

Unique design and it's definitely a different look. I kinda like it.

If it can be close to the speed of an Camry V6, and keep a high MGP, that will be a nice little car

Not digging the front bumper and the wheels are the wrong design and too small for the widebody, but other than that it's pretty cool. The colour is amazing, and the supercharger is piquing my interest. I like.

Now Lexus do it in awd. LOL

Fox Marketing has given Lexus' entry-level hybrid some much-needed teeth, adding an Eaton supercharger to the 2011 CT 200h. The huffer forces air through a Climax Racing intake manifold, helping the CT's 1.8-liter four pot crank out 300 high-voltage ponies.

Fox also says it beefed up the car's batteries, but details on what exactly the company did are nil. The added power means the CT 200h has to work a little harder to stay pointed in the right direction, which Fox addressed with a full-on custom suspension and enormous Baer brakes. The 13-inch Baers sit behind a set of 20-inch wheels sporting a huge offset and healthy 225/30-series meats up front and 255/30s at the back.

You'd think that a 300-horsepower hybrid would make an excellent sleeper, but that's just not Fox Marketing's style. Instead, it cloaked the little Lexus in metallic burnt orange paint, and draped it in a wide body kit, featuring huge three-inch fender flares. Inside, there's a set of Yonaka racing seats complemented with LED Lexus logos on the door panels. Check out a video clip of the car after the jump.

1sicklex, are you getting the itch to do some heavy performance mods for our GS450h?
