Sorry about the blurry pics, it was tuff because the car was on a revolving platform.

Henry, with the EDFC controller, you can only go up to 16. I think that's what they were referring too..??? Could be wrong through. Do you know what other aftermarket parts were used on the car?

We didn't get to see it here at the Washington, D.C. show just ended, but the Lexus reps here said it is still a concept...no real plans for production yet. The All-Wheel-Drive IS300 or IS430 is also a possibility.
I agree with you guys....the paint job ( at least in the pictures ) looks great, but that is probably Du Pont Imron show paint that won't see production....at a couple of hundered dollars a quart, it's too expensive.

Henry as you mentioned, a lot of the mods were done using standard "off the shelf" parts. In addition to what you already mentioned, the body kit is an "off the shelf " item as well. This obviously helps minimize the R & D cost to build this car, especially since this is a "one off" version that will not see production on the current platform. Lexus probably couldn't justify spending a lot on R & D if it will not be used for production.
Thank goodness they DID push through with this project.

simply beautiful.
Lexus, if you're reading this board... please build this car and make it available at a reasonable price and with a proper (read true manual) transmission. You may not make a ton of money on the car because like Audi, BMW and MB, you're not going to sell that many but it would do a great job of enhancing your image and you'd go a long way towards keeping some of your more enthusiastic owners "in the fold". We're going to be replacing our IS in two years or so and I'd love to put this car in the garage as opposed to the M3 (only two doors), S4 (questionable reliability) or AMG Benz (too much $$$ and now manual tranny even offered).
