Default Michelin Presents Wallpaper Wednesday: Super Street's 800hp IS




Super Street magazine ran the Miami to New York leg of the Gumball this year, and rolled in this 2014 Lexus IS with an 800hp 2JZ motor swap. This shot was snapped on the starting grid, where it waited for the green flag among the Lambos, Ferraris and McLarens. Click on the photo for a his-res version sans logo.

Any speculation as to why they chose the non- F sport?

ECU and F-Sports LFA inspired tachometer would have been pointless, AVS suspension too I suppose? Just my guesses.
