Lexus has finished second in class in its first attempt at the notorious Pikes Peak hill climb in Colorado with its Lexus IS F CCSR.
US racer Ken Gushi piloted the highly modified Lexus IS F over the gruelling 20-kilometre course in a time of 11 minutes, 35.17 seconds – to finish second in the Exhibition class, behind a lightweight V12 racing car.
Based on the V8-powered Lexus IS F road car, the IS F CCSR-Concept was first shown at the Tokyo Auto Salon in 2010 and features various performance and safety modifications to enable it to run at the Pikes Peak event.
