Ví um desses aqui em Brasília a uns 3 dias e posso dizer: Pessoalmente o carro é ainda mais bonito do que em fotos.
Equipado originalmente com o mesmo motor 2JZ-GE de seis cilindros em linha de 3.0L que equipa o Toyota Supra apenas com pequenas diferenças no cabeçote, desenvolvendo 225cv @ 6.000Rpm, dificilmente algum desses carros permanece original nas mãos dos aficcionados justamente pela facilidade de aprimoramento dentro da "família".
Este é o caso deste Soarer (como também é conhecido) de um usuário do Club Lexus, que externamente conta apenas com belíssimas rodas Volk Racing da linha Gold com pneus Bridgestone Potenza 235/40-18" na dianteira e 285/35-18" na traseira. As duas saídas de escape de 3,5" com abafadores de 5" em inox dão o tom e fecham o pacote externo.
Com um interior extremamente bem acabado e com equipamentos de luxo indispensáveis a um Lexus (a marca é conhecida por ser o braço luxuoso da Toyota), o conforto está perfeitamente atrelado ao prazer de dirigir.
Atualmente o carro encontra-se no estaleiro para receber algumas melhorias.
Os freios possuem discos slotados e perfurados contando com pastilhas esportivas, pinças de 4 pistões na dianteira e 2 pistões na traseira da AP Racing denunciando que o motor certamente não é mais original.
As rodas também estão sendo substituidas para deixar o carro com um visual mais VIP e agora são de 20" calçadas com pneus Michelin nas absurdas medidas 245/25-20" (dianteiros) e 295/25-20" (traseiros).
