Tuner Cars: Lexus IS by Wald

Usually when tuning company’s tune cars like the 3-Series, they go out of their way to give it more power. Sometimes they even add so much power, that it would almost sit the car next to the M3. Unfortunately, that’s not the case here. Wald International, headquartered in Osaka Japan, recently got their hands on the Lexus IS and ended up just giving it some good looks.

Wald’s IS250/350 Executive Line consists of a new front bumper, side skirts, rear bumper and rear spoiler plus Wald’s 19-inch Portofino silver polished wheels.

So no Lexus IS-F power here, but good looks nonetheless.

Specifically, their batteries are capable of propelling power for no more than 3 km and at speeds below 45 km / h, thanks to the energy stored by the recovery of braking and engine braking, because currently not offer the ability to plug to an electrical outlet.

Lexus LFA Nürburgring

This is the Lexus LFA Nürburgring Edition. It has an uprated suspension and ten more horsepower than the ordinary, less Nürburgringy LFA. We can guarantee it will accelerate. Don’t be frightened kittens, America! Pony up and ride the Nordschliefe lightning!

This monstrous Japanese creamsicle is one big, bad piece of LFAngry. The LFA’s 4.8-liter V-10 gains an extra 10 hp, bumping output to 562 hp; additional downforce comes courtesy of a larger front splitter, a larger rear wing, and dive planes mounted on the front fenders. All are crafted of carbon fiber. The LFA’s six-speed automatic receives a revised calibration, and the car’s suspension benefits from what Lexus calls “sports tuning.” New alloys and stickier tires come along for the ride. Pricing has not been released.

In other news, the whole mess will probably sound a lot like this, just with added Karussel and Flugplatz and such. Also, it does not look like this. We are not complaining.
