Where Is This Engine From?

Can anyone tell me where this engine is from? From the picture it looks like a race tuned 1G-FE (IS200 2ltr straight six engine) which i originally thought was from the Lexus BTCC cars. However I believe they used Altezza RS200 engines (without VVT-I.)

The car has been stripped out inside and it is a Lexus IS body shell so hopefully it's not a wild assumption that this is a proper IS200 race car rather than Lexus badged Altezza RS200s like the BTCC cars.

Any ideas anyone?

I'm asking as i don't know the answer myself! Was looking for pictures of the IS200 BTCC cars on google and came across it - hence why i originally thought it was from the BTCC..........untill i did the research.

Maybe it's a prototype they never used? Quite interested as i've never heard of a high power NA IS200.

RS 200 engines? they are inline 4

no, these are 1G-F(tz?)E motors; not sure about forced induction.

if you look at the first photo, you can see six pipes on the exhaust manifold, which means six cylinders.

not 3S-GE motors (RS200) for sure, as the exhaust manifold is on the other side for one, also only four cylinders....

very nice pictures though.

nice to see professionally upgraded complete cars like that.
