CL Exclusive: IS F CCS-R Comes To America!
Who says all the best stuff stays only in Japan? The IS F CCS-R Concept that debuted at the 2011 Tokyo Auto Salon has finally touched United States soil. The “Intelligent Sedan ‘Fuji’ Club Circuit Sports Racer Concept” — CCS-R for the rest of us– is the personal project of IS F Chief Engineer Yukihiko Yaguchi. It was Yaguchi-san and his skunk works was responsible for creating the first true Lexus performance sports car to wear the “F” marque.

The IS F recognized as a serious contender in the luxury performance market. With the arrival of the IS F CCS-R, this reinforces Lexus’ commitment the “F” program. To help expand the spirit of the IS F CCS-R to the general consumer, Lexus Japan has released a set of Club Circuit Sport Parts (CCS-P) for the IS F. Currently these parts are only available in the Japanese market but with enough interest, Lexus could bring these parts across the Pacific. Be forewarned, these parts aren’t cheap. The US Dollar to Yen conversion means you may end up with parts costing up to $60k, Ouch! Regardless, lets hope Lexus continues this path for future Lexus performance products and entry back into serious motorsports programs. Can you say the rebirth of Team Lexus or a presence in Formula 1?
