Lexus has announced an ‘aggressive' version of its CT200h hatch to showcase at the upcoming Chicago motor show.

Tuned by Five Axis, the custom CT gets a widebody conversion, lowered TEIN Flex coilover suspension, custom 19-inch FIVE:AD forged wheels, a suede interior, touch-screen centre console, Stoptech big brake conversion and the unfortunately titled ‘Dark Passage' green paint. Seriously. ‘Dark Passage'

Reckon the CT200h needed modifying? After all, it is a sub-100g/km CO2 motor set on caressing the tortured carcass of mother nature, albeit with a gluey steering feel and crashy ride, as we found out to our detrimentwhen we had a go.

The Chicago show kicks off on 11 February, and sitting astride the tuned CT will be Lexus' other tuned motors that debuted at last year's SEMA show.
