This proves that the TT-V6 fits in the IS. I know that was a concern mentioned at some point or another.

Anyone else noticed that it has 3 pedals despite still having the stock shifter in place? A sequential manual via the paddle shifters.

This is insane. It does beg the question as to whether Lexus would consider a higher-output version of this engine for, say, future F Sport Performance or F models.

Wow! Hopefully this comes to fruition where Lexus starts using this V6TT.

I am sure enthusiasts will be ready to buy as it would be a direct competitor with M340i, S4, Q50/60RS.

Normally I'm not a big fan of excessive modding, but this does look pretty damn slick.
