Lexus isn’t a brand I’ve written about too much on this blog, mostly because it doesn't offer the sort of performance upgrades you guys are interested in. But here’s an indication that might be about to change. This is the first official picture of the F-Sport version of the CT200h. If you’re thinking the CT-what, it’s not on sale in the UK yet, but will arrive early in the new year. It’s a compact hatchback, the Japanese firm’s smallest model to date and – as you can see – ripe for modification. If you’ve spotted the background, yes, that is the Sydney Opera House. The car was unveiled at the Australian Motor Show. Lexus UK hasn’t signed off a sporty version for us yet, but given we already get an F-Sport variant of the IS250 and 220d, it’s pretty likely to happen. So what does the Aussie car get? The Flame Blue paint job is the first of a raft of cosmetic upgrades. Exterior changes include revised bumpers, fresh alloys and unique badging. Inside there’s an F-Sport steering wheel, sports pedals, scuff plates, instrument panel and privacy glass. Power remains the same, but the suspension and damping is revised to offer a more controlled ride and sharper handling.
