IS F

The new IS F is the fastest production Lexus ever built and the first to bear the exclusive “F” designation. Reserved for ultra-high performance Lexus models, the “F” stands for “Fuji Speedway”, where the IS F was developed and tested.

Powered by a 5.0-litre V8 engine and featuring a sports-tuned 8-speed transmission, the IS F accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in under 5 seconds. The IS F is scheduled to go on sale in Europe in 2008.

Back to Geneva motor show
The all-new 5.0 litre V8 engine generates over 300kW of power and a massive 500 Nm of torque.  The IS F also features a unique 8-speed direct sports shift transmission, incorporating 'Flash Shift' for extremely rapid gear changes. As a result, the IS F accelerates breathtakingly from 0-100km/h in under 5 seconds and then on to an electronically governed top speed of 270 km/h, where legally permitted.

Based upon the successful IS sports saloon, every aspect of the 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 IS F is comprehensively equipped and boasts several unique features, including 19" forged alloy wheels from BBS and BREMBO aluminium brake callipers.  Lowered sports suspension, bi-xenon headlights and a unique sports interior design all contribute to the visual appeal of the new Lexus IS F.
