Nice finding!


The show car seems not to have the hidden wing. It will prob be in the option package.

This was the best car of the show and the best car to come out in a long while. That interior gives me butterflies. so throwback and modern at the same time. Makes me proud to be an SC 400 owner.

Looks like Lexus left many parts with just regular steel. Definitely room for improvement in the future when the competition catches up in the structural rigidity department. I wonder how effective those struct tower braces are in the engine compartment the way it is bolted on. It looks like it will just flex up and down easily.

I'd imagine Lexus knows what they're doing here
