Lexus IS F Circuit Club Sport Package comes into focus
This may belong in the IS-F sub-section but I'll post it here for now
Lexus has turned its already fast IS F over to the go-fast guys at Toyota Racing Development. The finished product is the IS F Circuit Club Sport, and the sport sedan wears a wide range of aero and mechanical improvements. We've known this model was coming for some time thanks to a 2010 Tokyo Auto Salon concept and details spouted late this summer, but these photos provide our best look yet at this touring-car-like model.
Outside, engineers have fitted the IS F with a new front spoiler, rear diffuser and hood, all of which are fabricated from weight-saving carbon fiber. You may have also noticed the vehicle's sizable rear wing. A performance damper kit is also part of the package, offering buyers two separate settings that independently adjustable compression. The luxury bruiser also comes equipped with lightweight forged aluminum wheels, though magnesium rollers are also available.
Mechanically, the IS F Circuit Club Sport Package utilizes a TRD limited-slip differential as well as a TRD big brake kit. At this point, there's no word on how much the package will cost or when it will be available. We aren't even sure American buyers will be able to sink their teeth into the factory-bred racer, so stay tuned.

Looks pretty nice (carbon fiber galore!) but I'm not so sure about the rear spoiler/wing....
Another question:
Are the F-Sport big brake kit available for the ISX50 the same brakes the IS-F has already? I wonder how much bigger this TRD BBK is compared to stock IS-F brakes.

^ Too bad they don't have an active spoiler that raises like Porsche's that raises and lowers at certain speeds 
. Than you don't have to drive around looking all ricey when you're not on the track!
Although the M3 GTS comes with a wing that size...
