An RWD sports sedan launched by Toyota in 1998. In Japan, it was sold under the name of Altezza, Outside Japan, it was sold under the name Lexus IS (first generation) as a competitor to the Mercedes-Benz C-Class and BMW 3 Series. Since the Altezza was intended for the D-segment market in Europe, it had a sedan body that emphasized practicality and comfort, but it also featured a short overhang body with excellent turning performance and a four-wheel double wishbone suspension that excelled in handling performance despite its high cost. In reality, the Altezza was a sports car in the shape of a sedan. The Altezza was also equipped with the famous 3S-GE engine, which had won numerous victories in F3, WRC, JGTC, Pikes Peak, and other races, and Toyota gave its dynamic performance on par with that of a sports car. As a result, the Altezza achieved good results in racing as the base vehicle for racing machines, including a long reign as class champion in the Japanese endurance racing series. The Japanese tuning industry greatly welcomed the Altezza, which was born as a sedan that was as close to a sports car as possible, and a wide variety of tuning menus were developed, including retrofitting turbochargers and engine swaps, and the car gained a great deal of support from Japanese car enthusiasts.
