Upcoming Lexus IS F
By sampology in World Auto News | 0 comments
The Lexus IS F is a strikingly bold, dynamic, ultra high-performance sports model. Yet it remains true to Lexus’s core values of sophisticated design, leading-edge technology and unsurpassed quality. One look is all it takes to appreciate its dramatic intent. Designed for the most demanding drivers, the Lexus IS F delivers uncompromising performance.
The all-new 5.0 litre V8 engine generates over 300kW and is mated to the world’s first 8-speed direct sport shift transmission. This gearbox features ‘Flash Shift’, allowing the driver to make extremely rapid gear changes. As a result, the IS F can accelerate from 0-100km/h in under 4.9 seconds. Developed and tested at the Fuji speedway - the home of the Lexus F-Sports programme - and other race circuits around the world, the Lexus IS F provides a true motorsport experience.
Based upon the successful IS, every aspect of the Lexus IS F has been re-evaluated and fine-tuned to provide the ultimate in dynamic performance, precision handling and road-holding, without compromising the everyday ride comfort you would expect from a Lexus. The Lexus IS F is comprehensively equipped and boasts several unique features, including 10 spoke, 19″ forged alloy wheels and Brembo aluminium brake callipers. Lowered sports suspension, bi-xenon headlights and F-sports interior all add to the dynamic appearance of the Lexus IS F.
The Lexus IS F will be available during the first quarter of 2008.
