As the annual Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show in Las Vegas draws near, more details of the cars that will be on show there trickle out. One of the Lexus IS Fs that will be on display has already been revealed, and today the company has released a sketch of a GS design project that will also be at the show.

A total of four customized IS Fs will be at the Lexus SEMA booth, plus the Project GS, a modified GS 460 done by Five Axis. All of the cars are intended to follow up on the strong success of last year's IS F sales debut, which was accompanied by the F-Sport line of performance accessories for the IS 250 and 350.

The Project GS will be revealed Tuesday, November 4th, with the car's designer, Troy Sumitomo, on hand to discuss what has been done to the vehicle. Until then, the car's specs will remain secret. The Project IS F, however, will be returning to SEMA for a second year, this time with a bored and stroked 5.75L V8 engine for more power.

The four custom IS Fs on display will be built by Fox Marketing/Artisan Performance, Import Tuner Magazine/TEIN suspension, 0-60 Magazine and MotorworldHype. Each vehicle will feature a unique design perspective, from hardcore track-focused racer to stylish street cruiser.

An LX 570 by ICON 4x4 Design will also be on display, featuring a 'stealth' design that ICON calls 'anti-bling'.
