Custom Lexus LC 500, GS F, And RC F At SEMA 2016 – Video

 

With a more aerodynamic body, upgraded suspension, brakes, wheels, tires and a new interior, this custom LC 500 created by Gordon Ting/Beyond Marketing is the highlight of Lexus’ SEMA stand.

 

 

This also happens to be the world’s first customized LC 500, a car that’s not all show and no go seen as how its 471 HP 5.0-liter V8 engine was actually transformed into a 525 HP 5.6-liter unit.

“The LC 500 looks beautiful and has a fantastic foundation of performance and driving characteristics,” said Gordon Ting, Beyond Marketing. “I wanted to use that groundwork to develop a high-performance, aggressive-looking LC 500 that is tough yet luxurious, and has serious chops thanks to the custom engine.”

The exterior of this LC 500 features a Gloss Yellow wrap, while its aerodynamic upgrades include an Artisan Spirit Custom Lexus LC Kit, featuring custom fender flares, a front diffuser, side skirts, a rear diffuser and a rear wing. There’s also a KW Suspension with a Hydraulic Lift System and height-adjustable springs.

As for how it makes contact with the road, you’re looking at 22″ satin charcoal HRE P101 wheels wearing Pirelli P Zero Nero rubber, whereas the interior comes with carbon fiber Sparco race seats, an Evasive Motorsports GT3 spec race cabin and a safety cage.

Moving on, Lexus is also displaying a widebody GS F and an RC F, both of them designed by Clark Ishihara. Both designs were enhanced for a wider appearance, giving the cars a more aggressive stance on the road. Also, in terms of performance, they both received a cold air intake system, full header back exhaust system and custom suspension.

Finally, the 2015 Lexus RC F GT3 race car will also be on display as it was used during the 2016 race season to gather data and track experience, thus boasting Lexus’ race program. This year, two 2017 cars will take part in the 2017 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship series.
