LEXUS, known for their smooth and silent running vehicles, performance, build quality, luxury and often times heft is headed for the 2012 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb with their IS F Circuit Club Sport Racer (CCS-R) will compete in this year's race towards the heavens.
The LEXUS IS F CCS-R will be looking to prove it's more than just a show car. Thankfully, it's properly equipped to tackle the 4.3km run to the peak, stripped of its power windows, central locking, rear seats and roof lining, with a full roll-cage, racing brakes, slammed suspension and a host of carbon fibre parts for obvious weight saving purposes.
The powertrain remains the same as the standard IS F production car, however its 5.0L V8 rumbles 416bhp with 503Nm of torque; perfect for a hill climb!
