The tuners at Job Design have made the Lexus LS460 even better with a nice looking body kit and a killer wheel package. They hooked it up with a set of VIP Modular wheels called the VR15 with a 6-inch lip at the rear, and 5-inch lip up front. Throw these wheels on the LS460, along with JIC Magic FLT-TAR coilovers and a Phantom Cup Kit Bag-Less Air Suspension, and you get an aggressive stance like no other. Everything about this car screams perfection and elegance, from the stunning 5 spoke rim design to the new custom big brake system. Check out the rest of the pictures after the jump to see if this Lexus is something you would drive.
Here’s a funny video sent to us by a reader named Rudy, of Claus Ettensberger being the first person to ever get a speeding ticket in the not yet released Lexus LFA super car. Lexus only plans to make 500 of these cars, from December 2010 to the end of 2012, which is about 20 a month. Claus was lucky enough to be one the first people to test the $375,000 ride on the open street, and look what happened. One trip around the block and he got a speeding ticket for going 91 mph in a 35 mph zone. The rider with him said they were doing 103 mph, but the police officer didn’t gun them at the time. I’m just wondering how he didn’t get arrested for almost tripling the speed limit. I know that in most states and countries around the world some serious penalties would be fined, and probably have the car impounded immediately. They lucked out on this one I guess.
Over in Japan, the tuners at ASI have been developing the “Invader” package for the Lexus LX 570 SUV. Targeting both exterior styling and engine performance, the tuning firm did a superb job at customizing the Lexus sport utility vehicle. Under the hood, ASI worked on the 5.7-liter V8 engine to boost its power output from 383 hp to 600 horsepower. This allows the full-size Lexus LX 570 SUV to sprint from 0 to 62 mph in less than 5 seconds. A stock Lexus LX can only accelerate to 62 mph in 7.4 seconds, so the performance tuning was phenomenal. However, the exterior styling on the Lexus LX is what catches everyone’s eyes.
If you follow the SuperGT competitions then you will notice one company that is missing a supercar in the race. Toyota has plans to develop the Lexus LFA SuperGT car to handle the competition after winning the race last year in their Lexus SC430. Nissan and Honda have already released their modified models, and although these renderings are unofficial, the concept seems on point as far as design goes. Toyota has yet to confirm the entrance of the Lexus LFA, but hopefully it should be announced later this year.
Toyota Racing Development aka TRD is one of the most famous tuning companies in the world for Toyota brands and have released the Lexus IS 350C F-Sport package. Starting off are noticeably larger 19 inch F-Sport wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport high performance tires. A F-Sport suspension was installed along with the wheel package which includes new shocks, lowering springs, and a sway bar kit. The TRD Lexus IS 350C also received a new F-Sport brake kit painted blue with drilled rotors to help it stand out from the crowd.
