TEST DRIVE LEXUS IS F UPDATE THE IS F We hope to have conveyed in these pages that the IS F offers an entirely new and exhilarating driving experience. But there is only one way to feel the pure driving pleasure it offers - and that's to get behind the wheel and try it for yourself. Visit your nearest Lexus Centre to arrange a test drive. For more information and the location of your nearest Lexus Centre, please visit our website www.lexus.co.uk or call 0845 129 5484.

We're working to ensure that during the life cycle of our vehicles - from design, production, distribution, sales and service to end-of-life - their environmental impact is minimised. You can find detailed information on environmental performance at www.lexus.co.uk Please note while every effort is made to reproduce accurate information, we reserve the right to change specifications, equipment and availability without prior notice.

With the IS F, I think anyone who holds the steering wheel will feel that sense of exhileration.’ THE RACETRACK YUKIHIKO YAGUCHI, IS F CHIEF ENGINEER Born on the Fuji Speedway and tested on some of the most demanding race circuits in the world, the IS F is the first release in the Lexus ultra-high performance sports series. Built by hand, a 5.0-litre V8 engine propels the IS F from zero to 62mph in just 4.8 seconds. To harness this exhilarating power, Lexus created the world’s most advanced eight-speed Sport Direct Shift transmission, with an upshift speed of just one tenth of a second (in manual mode), one of the fastest gear shifts in the world. The influences of Formula 1 can be seen throughout the vehicle — in the race-tuned suspension, titanium intake valves and extremely powerful brakes, for example. And also reminiscent of F1, every muscular contour of the IS F is shaped for speed. The aerodynamically advanced body allows track performance of up to 168mph, while the composite underbody fairings ensure maximum downforce. To enhance traction and stability during high-speed cornering, the IS F is fitted with a Limited Slip Differential (LSD), which automatically diverts drive torque to the rear wheel with the most grip, for example to the outside rear wheel when cornering. This compact torsion LSD resulted in vastly improved track times for Lexus’ test team on the Fuji Speedway. Off the track, the IS F is just as impressive. Meticulous sound engineering lets you fully appreciate the premium sound system; dynamic safety features enhance peace of mind; sophisticated cabin design ensures supreme comfort. The IS F sets new standards in the pursuit of perfection. Experience it for yourself.
