600 hp, twin-turbo Fox Marketing/Artisan Lexus IS-F

The 2009 Lexus IS-F is slated to get some serious attention at SEMA, and Fox Marketing and Artisan are out to prove that show and go aren't mutually exclusive.

The plan is to create an IS-F that has the power to match its presence, and to that end, Artisan developed a twin-turbo setup that huffs compressed oxygen into a 5.0-liter V8 equipped with JE pistons and Crower rods. With a Mishimoto radiator, an Artisan exhaust, a healthy amount of boost and a thorough tune, Artisan is estimating over 600 hp at the rear wheels.

I think it looks great in that colour.

[Parthiban]

Wow, love the rear end too, much more muscular and neater than the original imo :)

[johnboy]

I want one, and i like the colour too.

How does this translate btw? The standard IS-F has 420ish bhp right? If this one has 600hp at the wheels, what's the comparable bhp figure to standard?

It reminds me of the Tango advert some fat guy could come running out of the drivers side at the lights and rabbit slaps you on the chops

Nice looking specimen
