It is a philosophy that extends well beyond the confines of meticulously assembled sheet metal. An approach to the automobile not as a machine, but rather, an art form. Every curve, deliberate. Every detail, inspired. And where every aspect of the ownership experience is intended to be as rewarding and accommodating as the vehicles themselves. Because while there are certainly easier ways to build an automobile, pursuing perfection is the only way to create a Lexus. With outstanding craftsmanship and innovation in every 2013 IS Series, you can experience the comfort of owning a true luxury vehicle, and enjoy all of life’s perfect moments.

This can help provide significantly enhanced traction and control.
