Lexus has announced that for the first time ever it will have a major presence at the SEMA Show. The automaker’s 2007 SEMA Show exhibition will center around the new high-performance IS-F model, as well as project vehicles built by SEMA manufacturer members.

Lexus invites SEMA manufacturer members to participate in its Project Vehicle Program for the 2007 Show. Available vehicles include IS350, GS300, SC430 and RX400h (hybrid). In line with the IS-F positioning, the theme for project vehicles should be “high-performance luxury.” Applicants should also focus on innovation within their design concept.

All project vehicles will be located within the Lexus display.

This could make things interesting for aftermarket parts availability-

Damn, that sounds great!! No better way to get your product out to the aftermarket crowd.

Really looking forward to seeing some modded IS-F's.

Lexus Is Smelling What I'm Cooking!!!!

 

Can't wait to see some tricked out IS'

 

Now this is what I like to see!

 

They should give CL one as a project car!!

 

Thats awsome..these cars are gonna be awsome!

 

Yes! I can't wait for more parts.

 

It won't mean a lot if they continue to make it impossible to alter their engine managment without some piggyback junk. When they finally say they will allow access to basic engine operating parameters like ignition timing, fuel injection, and determining open/closed loop operation without hacking the harness to bits to install some less than effective piggyback, then I'll believe they are serious about supporting the aftermarket. Lexus/Toyota/Scion need the equivalent of Hondata. Period.

 

Mmmmm .... Hondata .... [drool]
