Lexus has released a special IS sedan for gamers and streamers. This car has adapted for video games and online broadcasts.
The development of technology causes manufacturers to "adapt" to modern realities and expand the possibilities of cars. Today we are talking about the Japanese company Lexus, which built a unique concept car based on the IS business class sedan, adapting it for streamers leading live broadcasts, and for amateurs of computer games.
The partner of the Japanese automaker for this project was the popular Fuslie streamer, which has more half a million subscribers on the Twitch video broadcast platform. By voting, they chose the design and equipment of the car.
The SCPS studio pasted the car body with a vinyl film with the Infiltrate pattern, stylized under the first-person game shooter game interface. Salon special Lexus IS is made in the NEON Tokyo style with acrylic panels and "drops" on the ceiling, which, together with multi-colored illumination, imitate the night rainy streets Tokyo. The SMART TINT system allows you to darken the side windows for games, and the rear window turns into a background for broadcasts in Twitch.
In place, where in ordinary cars is the front passenger seat, the developers have placed a gaming computer with a 4K display with a diagonal of 27 inches printed on a 3D printer with gamepad and components from AMD.
The concept car, which was called Lexus Gamers' IS, was built on the basis of the standard Lexus IS 350 ° F Sport, which is not reported on the revisions. The only drawback for gamers will be that they will not be able to play on the go, since the "filling" for the game needs to be connected to external power sources.
On the eve, Lexus presented the IS 500 sedan with the V8 atmospheric motor. The novelty will appear only in the North America market. The full name of the new four-door is LEXUS IS 500 ° F Sport Performance. The set of differences from the standard IS model looks sufficiently modest: other bumpers, extended front wings, four exhaust pipes, black decor elements and lightweight 19-inch wheels.
Under the hood of such a sedan, all the same non-in-free V8 engine with a volume of 5.0 liters, which is somehow minimized - to 479 hp and 536 nm. Also retained 8-speed "automatic" and rear drive.
