IS-F Racer?

[rolla_fxgt]

Saw this on Autoblog today & thought it looks interesting, but any ideas in what series they might race it? It does look very DTM'ish, but I'm not familiar with the rules of that series so don't know if it'd qualify.

here's the link http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/05/lexus-is-f-racing-concept-coming-to-tokyo-auto-salon/

naming it the super GT sc430 kinda gives a hint, ...but then again they already have that car in the super gt.

...I dont think the SC430 and the IS-F are the same car....

The concept looks very DTM, I thought the car had to be german to race in that series, but I might be wrong?

I read a mag today mentioning the new Lexus IS-F 5.0 l V8 311 KW 505 NM torque apparently they are raving about it.Directly aimed at BMW, Mercedes and Audi equivalents.Apparently the DSG type gearbox in it shifts quicker than just about every other gearbox out there bar the Ferrari Scuderia which shifts are 0.06 per shift vs the Lexus .11 shift speed also has 8 speed.Will do 270 kph plus so its right up there.
