Lexus has a total of three very unique models to impress the SEMA crowd this year, and one of them is targeted at convertible fans.
The car you see is based on the IS 350C, but VIP Auto Salon has had its way with it, and now it not only looks like a million dollars but also goes like it was supposed to.

The IS now sits on 19 inch full-face forged alloys wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport tires. The body of the car has been enhanced by the added carbon fiber aero package that includes Front Lip Spoiler, Side Diffuser, Rear Diffusers, Rear Trunk Spoiler, and Eye lines. The best thing about the car is that amazing Custom Chameleon paint.

We’re not easily impressed by paintjobs, but when we found out that the IS now packs a 386 hp thanks to an added Power Enterprise Rotex Supercharger kit. that was bolted onto the V6, we fell in love with it. That’s about as much power as the old version of the Aston Martin V8 Vantage had.

To make sure people notice you in your convertible even when you are a mile away, the IS 350C has been fitted by VIP Auto Salon with a custom exhaust system.

As for the interior, that boasts unique seats, an LED lighting package and F SPORT floor mats and gear shifter.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
