Fox Marketing and Artisan Performance are preparing a very striking version of Lexus’s smaller open air sports coupe. Dubbed the IS-C; this tuner machine will become a wide body, twin turbocharged full-on show car. Covered from head to toe in candy green, this vehicle should be sitting pretty in the Lexus booth later on this year at SEMA.
Ford Motor Company has just released a micro site dedicated to their wild F-150. The SVT Raptor that was unveiled at SEMA is a wide bodied concept based on the F-150. Normally trucks aren’t our thing on TopSpeed, but this one did take on the Baja 1000, so it’s cool with us.
Plenty more pics, info and the site link after the jump

The Dodge Challenger can provide big power and torque to the rear wheels, which makes it a great starting point for drift competitions. So it only makes sense that Chrysler’s parts guys, Mopar, would create for SEMA the Drift Dodge Challenger.
Exterior modifications include a variety of safety components such as a full roll-cage and a five-point harness. A front carbon-fiber splitter and rear carbon-fiber wing were added for improved aero dynamics, and weight was trimmed off the Dodge Challenger SRT8 chassis by utilizing a custom carbon-fiber body by NuFormz Racing.
The powerplant of the Mopar Drift Dodge Challenger features a Mopar A8 aluminum engine built by Gary Stanton Racing Engines, with Mopar W9 raised port heads, pumping out an estimated 850 hp and 849 lb-ft of torque.

Other modifications include front and rear fascia with a center exit exhaust, grille, and widened front and rear fender flairs that incorporate new full length side rocker panels.
The car does have some practical function, too. The Yaris 5 Door Tailback is powered by a compressed natural gas system (CNG) and offers the possibility to switch from the vehicle’s combustion engine to its CNG system with the push of a button.
