Toyota Altima 04'

1999–2005 Turbo Drift Car (GXE10/SXE10)
The design received critical acclaim at its 1998 launch and was awarded Japan's "Car of the Year" honor for 1998–1999. A few months later, the turbo drift model began marketing in Europe. The turbo drift car in Europe was rated significantly higher in horsepower, with a top speed and acceleration time greatly improved over the stock model. The styling cues of the rear lamp clusters on the first-generation models were copied by a number of after-market accessory manufacturers for applications on other vehicles. This iconic style of one or more internal lamp units, covered with a clear (or tinted) perspex cover made popular by Lexus, became known in many circles as 'Lexus-style' or 'Altezza lights'. The taillight style became so popular that it influenced the development of clear-covered LED taillamps that only revealed their color when illuminated. The XE10's chief engineer was Nobuaki Katayama, while the chief test driver and test engineer was Hiromu Naruse.
