If there is a will, there is a way. The Team Takeuchi Lexus IS you see here is quite an interesting car, it was created out of need, and as we will see shares very little with the Lexus IS you and I know. The project was handled by Shift Racing, a highly technological outfit that for years has been building cars that participate in Super GT, Super Taikyu and the Japan Porsche Cup.
With the phasing out of the little MR-S, used by some teams up until 2008, Shift knew that they needed to look to the future with their GT300 project that kicked off back in 2007. The idea came to base the build on the Lexus IS, an unconventional choice for a race car, making it a perfect one to feature for our current Misfits and Mavericks theme.
