For 2014 SEMA
Show, Lexus challenged its fans to design the 2014 IS of their dreams. You can
imagine that hundreds of designs rolled in, but only seven of them — the best
of the best, will become reality.
One of these seven cars was designed by Paul Tolson
and Gabriel Escobedo. Their design is based on an IS 250 equipped with the
F-Sport package , and it features a combination of BASF Glasurit Orange Mercury
and Galaxy Root Beer paint. The car received an aggressive, all-metal wide-body
kit, and the design duo dropped it closer to the ground with an Air Runner
Systems air ride.
There is also a new set of Wheel Works USA Emotion
CR Kiwami wheels sized 19-by-9.5 inches up front and 19-by-10.5 inches on the
rear. Bringing the concept to a halt is a Rotara brake system, featuring
six-piston calipers squeezing 355-by-32 mm discs on both
the front and rear.
Rounding out the mods is a custom exhaust and
intake that helps improve the rumble of the 2.5-liter, V-6 engine.
