The IS F CCS features extensive carbon fiber parts and a 5.0 liter V8 engine with 423 hp

Here are a few snapshots of the Lexus IS F CCS (Circuit Club Sport) Concept car which was on display at the Tokyo auto salon this past weekend.

Dressed in a vibrant contrast of orange and black, the IS F CCS goes heavy on the carbon fiber. Or should we say "light". Much of the body has been rendered so, including the roof, rear wing and diffuser, front spoiler lip, the hood as well as the side mirrors. The interior also gets a do-over in carbon fiber, such as the center and lower consoles, gear stick, steering wheel trim and door panels. The IS F CCS is also fitted with two-tone bucket seats.

The weight reduction helps boost the performance of this 5.0 liter V8 enabled Lexus. That engines produces 423 hp in its Japanese market iteration. Additional performance enhancement comes by way of forged magnesium wheels wrapped in performance tires, carbon brake disks, sports suspension and a sport exhaust system with a titanium muffler.

But weight and track time figures Lexus has not yet provide. Nor, for that matter, is there any news on what Lexus plans, if anything, to do in the future with this concept.

The factory car should have been made closer to this if they were to truly try to take down the M3.

There seems to be a real move by Lexus to explore carbon fibre in their production cars in the near future. All the carbon fibre on the LFA and this ISF point towards applications in more mainstream models in the near future. This is the trickle-down effect in action right now. I wonder what the next GS will be like...

423bhp from a 5.0 V8? That's lethargic for something that is M3 GTR wannabe. How about planting a V10 on the front engine bay from the LFA to the IS-F? They desperately need a good gearbox too.

This car needs some turbos and a 6spd manual.
