Fox's 400hp IS C heads to SEMA 2009


PHOTO (select to view enlarged photo)

Fox Marketing is back for the 2009 SEMA Show, following up last years twin turbo IS Fwith a supercharged 2010 Lexus IS350C. While Lexus' hard-top cabrio may be an odd choice for a performance makeover, you can't deny the equipment Fox used to create the BASF Foxy Green, 405 horsepower drop-top.

A ProCharger C2 blower huffs five PSI into the stock 3.5-liter V6, with a Yonaka intercooler keeping the charge in check while spent hydrocarbons are shuttled out an F-Sport exhaust. Lexus' internal tuning division was tapped to supply the stoppers, with 14-inch discs clamped by six-piston caliper in front. iForged wheels, sized 20x9 inches in front and 20x11.5 inches in the rear, are wrapped in Toyo T1Rs and dropped over a set of Yonaka SPECII 36-way adjustable coilovers.

Since this is a Fox creation, the exterior mods are both extensive and custom, with a bespoke front lip, side skirts, grilles, badges and a two-inch fender flare.
