Lexus F Performance

The Lexus IS-F is a high performance and race engineered sibling of the LFA supercar. The same engineering that went into the Lexus LFA also went into the Lexus IS F, producing the ultimate in high performance and perfection.

The luxury car market is really heating up, and buyers are now looking for quality and craftsmanship in a vehicle that delivers comfort, style and an unsuspecting amount of horsepower.

The 416 Horsepower Lexus IS F engine is built for high rpm range, with forged internal components, balanced to bring the torque curve to it’s peak and the IS F from 0 to 60 in 4.6 seconds flat.

The quality and engineering of this vehicle is evident in the use of transmission and oil coolers to help dissipate the excessive heat caused when racing.

Once you begin to push the limits in racing, all the materials will be tested and must stay within tolerances or engine failure can occur. Inferior materials will warp and distort under high heat or high stress conditions.

Every aspect of the vehicle must be considered for strength, response, durability and precision. The 19 inch forged alloy wheels on the Lexus IS-F are of high strength for better handling through the turns, and a better steering response.

The thrill of experiencing Lexus F Sport technology and the overall attention to detail that this car was built upon makes Lexus fans even more excited about this demand for performance and luxury.

Check out the new IS 350 AWD, a combination that has been highly anticipated. Having all-wheel-drive and 300 horsepower is a thrill that can only be understood once experienced. The vehicle grips the road and goes, a feeling of sharp acceleration and power at the blip of the throttle.
