Toyota's in-house tuning arm TRD has revealed its latest Lexus project, adding styling and handling upgrades to the all-new 2014 IS sedan

Shown here in IS 350 form, the package includes a toughened-up body-kit, with new bumpers at both ends, low-slung side skirts and a small lip spoiler at the rear. 

There's also 19-inch aluminium wheels and a sports exhaust setup, while handling enhancements include sports dampers and extra bracing below. 

Power and performance figures remain unchanged, with the new IS range powered by a 154kW 2.5 V6 and a 233kW 3.5 V6. A new IS 300h hybrid is also available, offering 162kW and 4.3 l/100km fuel consumption figures.

The new IS range will hit Australia in the third quarter of this year, including the hybrid model.
