2011 NYIAS: Lexus CT 200h Supercharged to 300 Horses

Making its debut at the Big Apple is a concept for a high-performance version of the Lexus CT 200h hybrid hatchback conceived and executed in partnership with Fox Marketing.

Starting with a production CT 200h, the tuner modified the 1.8-liter gasoline engine by adding an Eaton supercharger along with a Climax Racing intake manifold and a Yonaka air to water intercooler among other upgrades to push output to an estimated 300HP. Additionally, Fox Marketing said it has boosted the factory batter power, but did not provide further details.

Fox Marketing Begins Work on Lexus IS 350 Convertible for SEMA

We first told you about Fox Marketing's Lexus IS Convertible project back in May when the tuner issued the first teaser sketch of the hotted-up cabrio that is slated to make its debut at the 2009 SEMA gathering the first week of November. Now, as well as revealing that the donor car will be the IS 350 C, the crew over at Fox Marketing also published a gallery of photos of the project car as it begins taking shape in their tuning shop.

The hardtop convertible will boast a custom made wide bodykit (somewhat inspired from the range-topping IS-F) complemented by a set of beefy 20-inch iForged Sprint alloy wheels shod in 305/30 R20 Toyo T1R tyres.

Previous reports stated that the IS 350C project car would get a turbocharged V6, but Fox Marketing has yet to reveal any details on the drop-top's specifications.
