Lexus GS F Sport by Wald International

Wald International has introduced a new styling package for the Lexus GS F Sport. Looking tastefully restrained, the body kit includes a front lip spoiler, revised side skirts and a rear bumper insert. Customers can also order carbon fiber reinforced plastic spoilers and 19- or 20-inch wheels with Bridgestone Potenza tires. There's no engine modifications, so power is provided by a 3.5-liter V6 with 306 hp (228 kW / 310 PS) and 277 lb-ft (375 Nm) of torque. It is connected to a six-speed automatic transmission that enables the car to accelerate from 0-60 mph in approximately 5.7 seconds.

Wald International Lexus CT200h

Wald International has announced plans to introduce their Black Bison package for the Lexus CT200h at the China Auto Salon. The company declined to release details, but the package apparently includes new bumpers, extended side skirts and LED fog lights. There's also an aggressive rear diffuser, two spoilers and a four-tailpipe exhaust system. We can also see unique alloy wheels with a black and chrome finish. The China Auto Salon kicks off on October 5th, so stay tuned for additional information.

Five Axis presents Lexus GS 350 for SEMA 2011

 Starting with Five Axis, Troy Sumitomo has re-fashioned a Lexus GS 350 titled Project GS F SPORT. It features Glacier White Paint with custom Slate Gray accents, an AirRunner TC-5 air suspension system and custom fabricated exhaust with dual finishers. The Project GS F SPORT is a one-off show car built for SEMA only. For performance upgrades you'll have to look somewhere else at SEMA as no powertrain modifications were made.
Another Five Axis project takes the CT 200h and adds a custom widebody conversion, a striking JDSU "Dark Passage" paint and a TEIN flex coilover suspension. The intention of the project is to shake the mundane image associated with hybrids and make it "fun-to-drive". Besides the suspension and fancy exterior paintwork the only other area to be cutomized is the interior with laser etched Ultrasuede EcoDesign seat inserts and headliner. There are no upgrades under the hood on this one either.
Next in line is VIP Auto Salon. Known for their extreme designs. This custom Lexus IS 350C gets a Chameleon paint job and features a Seibon carbon fiber hood, a high-performance exhaust system, F SPORT lowering springs, Bilstein shock absorbers and F SPORT 19-inch full-faced forged alloy wheels. But unlike the Five Axis show ponies, this IS 350C gets a dash of hot sauce with a Power Enterprise rotex supercharger kit by Apexi producing 386hp and 372 lb-ft. That's an increase of 80hp and 75 lb-ft of torque on the 3.5-liter V6. Facilitating the blower are PTS Joe Z Series Header Back Exhaust System and Apexi Smart Accel Controller.
Last but not least, the Lexus LX 570 by JT Grey Racing shows how rugged the luxury SUV can be. Highlights include 37-inch BF Goodrich Baja TA race tires, 17-inch F Sport forged off-road wheels, Custom King Racing shocks, Off road lighting with 70 watt carbon fiber HID and Sparco race seats.

Lexus CT200h by Fox Marketing

The New York Auto Show is starting to wind down, but that hasn't stopped Lexus from unveiling a one-off CT200h in the Big Apple.

Created by Fox Marketing, the bespoke model features a wide body kit with modified fascias, revised side skirts and an aggressive rear diffuser. Other highlights include a Carizzma Cinnamon paint job, tinted headlights and 20-inch alloy wheels.

Inside, the cabin is tastefully restrained as there's Yonaka Ronin racing seats, aluminum trim and illuminated Lexus logos in the door panels.

Under the hood, the 1.8-liter engine has been outfitted with an Eaton supercharger, a Climax Racing intake manifold, and a high-performance intercooler. While performance specifications weren't released, Lexus estimates the four-cylinder produces approximately 300 hp (224 kW / 304 PS).

Styling Program for Lexus LS460 by WALD

Japanese tuners Wald are now taking orders for their new kit for the 2010 Lexus LS460 facelift. The car with the styling mods debuted in January at the Tokyo Auto Salon 2010.

Engineers designed a sportier package for the facelifted model than their previous kit. It includes a blacked-out grille ringed in chrome, an aggressive front bumper, and new sidesills. A new diffuser surrounds the dual tailpipes, like the previous Wald kit, but this package has a more squared-off bumper.

The company does not plan to stop here. An e-mail sent to us from the tuner says they are working on a package capable of fitting the LS Hybrid.

Delivery of the Wald Lexus LS460 package will begin in mid-March. The package is also available through select Lexus Japan dealers.

Lexus LS460 by Lorinser

Tuners at the German firm Lorinser are best known for their work on the Mercedes-Benz lineup. The company has pretty much hit every modern Mercedes, from A to SLK, including the Viano. Two years ago, they ventured a little further out, giving a nice bit of work to the Smart Cars.

Now the company has set their sites on their first ever Asian adaptation. Meet the Lorinser Lexus LS 460, with a new aerokit meant to give the big, five-meter long car "elegant bodywark that exudes confidence."

Engineers first subtly attacked the front fascia with a new spoiler that incorporates new, round foglights. The front bumper also appears to be a bit more squared off, giving the car a more stately appearance. Side sill changes are substantial, but not aggressive, and warn onlookers that the car has some power under its hood.

Modifications at the back are a bit more noticeable, although Lorinser kept the 460's rear light cluster intact. A rear wing has been added on to the boot, and a new apron has been installed. These show more sporty characteristics, as the apron incorporates an air inlet, race-inspired grill, and quad-tipped dual exhaust. The package is rounded off with custom made light-alloys.

Despite making all of these changes, the Lorinser Lexus LS 460 has a relatively unchanged 0-100 km/h time of 5.7 seconds. Power comes from a 4.6-liter V8 engine that produces 381 horsepower. Although not yet on their website, the Lorinser LS 460 should be available from the company in no time.
