Lexus 25th Anniversary Celebrated With Special Edition TRD IS F Sport in Spain

Although Lexus theoretically celebrated its 25th birthday in January (because its first vehicle - LS - was launched at the 1989 NAIAS which is held in January), there are still places where they either forgot or had to wait for a special occasion to reunite 2 big events in one.

Such place is Spain, where Lexus will offer a special model IS F Sport as part of the celebration which will happen at the Madrid Show.

Lexus Spain said to release a special edition IS F Sport at the Madrid Auto Show in order to properly celebrate the automaker’s 25th birthday. They also teased the special model in the photo you can see above. However, if you remember, this looks pretty damn close to a kit from TRD.

That’s because it really is the TRD kit revealed by Toyota’s house tuner last year. It comes with both visual and mechanical upgrades, adding slightly restiled side skirts, front lower singlets, new rear bumper with air diffuser, a trunk mounted spoiler and twin double-barreled exhaust tips along with a set of 19-inch multispoke rims.

Mechanically, the packs adds a retuned suspension and reinforcing member braces to stiffen up the ride.

The whole pack was offered at around $12,200 or €9,500, so expect the 25-car limited edition add that amount of cash to its price tag, if the Spanish subsidiary was actually referring to the TRD kit using the teaser photo.
