Toyota Motorsports teases 600-horsepower Lexus LS - Latest Cars News

The teaser images suggest that the TS-650 is equipped with a long list of carbon fiber add-ons, including a trunk-mounted spoiler, side skirts on both sides and a new roof panel. The car is fitted with fender flares that accommodate wide BBS wheels mounted on low-profile tires and it will sport an aggressive body kit on both ends.

Pictures of the interior are not available yet but it has likely been given a similar treatment. Expect abundant carbon fiber trim, bucket seats and extra gauges to be part of the package.

The T S650's cavernous engine bay is home to a twin-turbocharged 5.0-liter V8 engine that TMG promises will be good for "around 600 horsepower." Performance figures were not released but early estimates peg the car's top speed at over 200 mph.

The Lexus-based super-sedan will be presented as merely a prototype but it might be added to the Toyota lineup as a limited edition model if the company's CEO gives it the proverbial nod of approval.
