Not sure adding a TC for a hybrid is a good idea, but I guess they know what they're doing.

Kind of defeats the purpose of a hybrid if you ask me. It's like getting a diet soda and then getting a Big Mac and fries to go with it... If you want power, don't get a hybrid like the CT and then supercharge it.

Wood diffuser? It would have taken no time to pull a mold and make it out of carbon, or at least glass. Hell, there's guys on here making entire hoods and body parts in their basements out of carbon. You would have been able to add some curvature and flare to it like the rest of the car. It's the one thing that kills it for me, big square wood diffuser........ But the rest of the car looks amazing, and those wheels... WOW!

Fox Marketing has given Lexus' entry-level hybrid some much-needed teeth, adding an Eaton supercharger to the 2011 CT 200h. The huffer forces air through a Climax Racing intake manifold, helping the CT's 1.8-liter 4 pot crank out 300 high-voltage ponies.
Fox also says it beefed up the car's batteries, but details on what exactly the company did are nil. The added power means the CT 200h has to work a little harder to stay pointed in the right direction, which Fox addressed with a full-on custom suspension and enormous Baer brakes. The 13-inch Baers sit behind a set of 20-inch wheels sporting a huge offset and healthy 225/30-series meats up front and 255/30s at the back.
You'd think that a 300-horsepower hybrid would make an excellent sleeper, but that's just not Fox Marketing's style. Instead, it cloaked the little Lexus in metallic burnt orange paint, and draped it in a wide body kit, featuring huge 3-inch fender flares. Inside, there's a set of Yonaka racing seats complemented with LED Lexus logos on the door panels. Check out a video clip of the car after the jump.
