All so the powerful G-forces we experienced there will be felt here—halfway around the world—by you. As the first Lexus to be honed on this track, every element of the IS was refined to create optimal agility and the most linear response possible. From reducing body lean to increasing straight-line stability, the IS was pushed to perfection at every turn. REDUCED BODY LEAN The IS F SPORT offers a newly optimized Adaptive Variable GREATER STRAIGHT-LINE STABILITY Suspension that’s more rigid and utilizes components that are The Lexus-exclusive swing-valve shock absorber8 up to 20% lighter.
