2nd gen Lexus IS & IS-F
 
First, I have to start by saying YUK!!! But is this what we can expect from TRD for the FT86?





"Based on the Circuit Club Sports Concept that appeared at last year's Tokyo Auto Salon enthusiast show, the CCS package includes a vented carbon-fibre bonnet, along with carbon fibre aero elements in the front and rear bumpers.
There's also a carbon-fibre rear wing mounted high on the rear deck, and the ultra light-weight material has also made its way into the cabin for a few aesthetic tweaks.
A set of TRD-developed suspension stablisers and upgraded shocks is also featured, along with high-performance brakes and a choice of two different wheels - one set in forged magnesium and one in aluminium."

Yuk? That looks badass! regarding that everything is functional, i like it :w00t:

The wheels and wing put me off. Everything else is good.

MiguelAE86 08-28-2011 09:39 PM

the wheels are fine, i bet they're super light for their size! but yes, the wing looks a bit...wimpy lol

Wing might be ugly, but I'm pretty damn sure it works. I like the wheels.


I was hoping for this... but damn is it expensive. Could have done more too. More weight reduction, more power. Especially at what all those mods cost.

It looks a little too ricer at a glance, but it's growing on me. Maybe it would looks better in a different color.

Yes this was one of my dream car. I loveee the stacked quad exhaust.

zygrene 09-01-2013 11:37 PM

fun car if you like out-of-the-box power oversteer and a luxurious interior, but i think i'd rather get a manual E92 M3. cool.

Unfortunate that the exhaust tips are fake. Between that, the 8spd auto trans, and the fact that it just isnt as good as the m3 makes it fall short.

As an overall car though, it isn't bad. Somewhere between cool and uncool imo.

I know but i like the looks of it still. And the m3 is hell of a car, also a good one.

Wonderful exterior, amazing exhaust note, comes with an auto so you can hoon it around a race track but drink your coffee on the way back... and the price isn't astronomical. Only problem is....



There are 3 german cars that do everything this can do... and then some, and for that it's on the low end of cool

ZetaVI 09-02-2013 08:19 AM

I agree this just meets the edge of cool.

The 2011 model fixed a lot of what was wrong with the car at the beginning.
It might have ended up being too little too late, but this model year forwards was actually comparable with the M3.
