GT2 Class IS350
I just thought this was pretty interesting. I'd actually like to see how these things turn out on race day...Anybody seen one in action before?...
I guess this is the exact car that they are talking about in this article...

Hey guys,
Here's the deal. This was going to be one of five new Team Lexus ALMS GT2 IS350's. Three of the cars were built, one was completed and two were in various stages of completion. The whole car with exception to the quarter panels and frame are made from carbon fiber. The wing isn't quite as large as it looks in the rendering but it was made to hold somewhere between 600-650lbs of down force. Hence the size.
The issue was that despite our great relationship with Lexus over the past 9 years, TRD wanted control of our program. Now I'm going to have to beat around the bush on this, but despite all efforts and over a years worth of R&D Lexus decided to shut down the Team Lexus race program indefinately.
