Lexus launches the CT200h F-Sport

Lexus' F-Sport treatment gives the car additional sporty styling cues, and the CT200h is no exception. On Lexus' first dedicated hybrid model, the CT200h F-Sport features a sportier looking front bumper along with a honeycomb upper grille, beefier side skirts, and a reworked rear bumper that incorporates a diffuser.

Other additions include gunmetal-look alloy wheels, as well as the unique Flame Blue bodywork colour, while the interior of the CT200h F-Sport features unique dashboard and door panel trims, plus an F-Sport steering wheel with a thicker rim, sports pedals, scuff plates, instrument panel and privacy glass.

The car's basic drivetrain remains unchanged however, with no additional power boost to the CT200h's 1.8-litre VVTi petrol engine which is mated to an electric motor and an electronically-controlled continuously variable transmission. However, Lexus says that it has modified and uprated the car's suspension for sportier handling.
