Tokyo is the place to be for auto buffs with vibrant concepts like the Lexus IS-F CCS being debuted at the auto salon. It sure is no ordinary concept considering the amount of carbon fiber used and its engine displacement. Right from roof and the rear wing diffuser to the front spoiler lip and the side mirrors, all have been rendered in carbon fiber.

Even on the inside, the center and lower consoles, the gear stick and the door panels along with the steering wheel all have been done in carbon fiber. Such heavy usage of carbon fiber obviously lowers the overall weight of the car (exact weight of the car wasn’t detailed) and improves its efficiency. Under the hood is a 5.0L V8 engine that produces 423hp which signifies it ought to be a speed devil, sadly the track time hasn’t been revealed. [via CarScoop]
